- regression introduced by 431c9632

  The triSurface dictionary constructor applies the scaling,
  and thus it can be reported, but not applied in triSurfaceMesh

- refactor common exit/abort code

- support single-parameter output. Eg,

    FatalError("some-executable")
        << "Cannot load something\n"
        << exit(FatalError);

- previously used a Pstream::exit() invoked from the argList
  destructor to handle all MPI shutdown, but this has the unfortunate
  side-effect of using a fixed return value for the program exit.

  Instead use the Pstream::shutdown() method in the destructor and allow
  the normal program exit codes as usual. This means that the
  following code now works as expected.

  ```
  argList args(...);

  if (...)
  {
      InfoErr<< "some error\n";
      return 1;
  }
  ```

- orphaned file: extendedFeatureEdgeMeshI.H

- unused primitiveFaceZone typedef.
  Identical to indirectPrimitivePatch typedef

- conversion, sampling, surfMesh

- placed in stdFoam.H (as well as autoPtr.H) for general availability

STYLE: minor adjustments to autoPtr code layout

* Use cast for std::pow(??, z).
* No cast for std::pow(z, ??) - already properly specialized.

- log to stdout when explicitly enabled

- missed detection of system libraries when installed with multiarch
  paths like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

CONFIG: improve handling of group/user config files (#928)

- changed bashrc handling of FOAM_CONFIG_NOUSER to use
  FOAM_CONFIG_MODE instead. Propagate into foamEtcFile to make this
  a stickier control.

  This change allows better control, but also enables cluster
  installations to define their own value within the OpenFOAM prefs.sh
  file to prevent users accidentally mis-configuring things if
  necessary.

- remove undocumented handling of an (a)ll mode in foamEtcFile to
  avoid potential pitfalls.

- add support for FOAM_CONFIG_ETC handling.
  This allows injection of an extra search layer when finding
  project etc files

ENH: improvements to foamConfigurePaths (#928)

- handle FOAM_CONFIG_ETC implicitly, or explicitly with the new
  -etc option.

STYLE: more explicit wording in foamConfigurePaths usage (#1602)

- document that an absolute path (eg, -scotch-path) overrides/ignores
  the equivalent ThirdParty setting (eg, -scotch)

- longer options -system-compiler and -third-compiler for -system
  and -third, respectively. Clearer as to their purpose.

- adjust the location sanity check to look for META-INFO directory.

- base level surface container is now a meshedSurface instead of
  a triSurface. This avoid automatic triangulation of surfaces
  when they are read, and simplifies the internals.

- sampling types:
  * "meshedSurface" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMesh")
  * "meshedSurfaceNormal" (compat: "sampledTriSurfaceMeshNormal")

- removed swapZones method (unused, potentially fragile)

- add subsetMesh by name

BUG: incorrect zone assignment in MeshedSurface::subsetMesh

- used the new (zero-sized) zone when determining the old zone ending
  instead of the original zone bounds.

- use local branching for face maps to reduce code complexity
  and duplication

- refactor logic from triSurfaceMesh for triSurface, MeshedSurface,
  UnsortedMeshedSurface.

  Makes it easier to locate and use surface files without the
  triSurfaceMesh (meshTools) infrastructure.

STYLE: remove unused sampledTriSurfaceMesh constructors

- coordinateSystems, DictionaryBase

  STYLE: update dimensionSets in SpalartAllmaras

Often we want to copy a field and replace boundary conditions, e.g. change type
to calculated for some patches.  This has typically been achieved by creating a
word list of new patch types which are then fed through to the fvPatchField::New
factory method.  This is OK for types that require no additional input (usually
from dictionary) but leaves other more complex types partially
constructed/usable.

The new constructor clones all BCs except those with indices specified, for
which the fvPatchField::New method is called for the supplied patch field type.
