- old logic (v2206 and earlier) always disabled writing on non-master,
  but other parts of the code were more recently updated to use lazy
  evaluation of surface data (with parallel communication)

- now retain full write/no-write logic identically on all ranks. Take
  care of master/non-master at the final output stage.

- some regressions (especially with ptscotch) noted with scotch-7.0.1

- no guarantee that dpkg-architecture command is actually available,
  so revert to a reasonable guess from 'uname -m' and 'uname -s'

Misc. changes in finite-area methods

See merge request !585

Kutalmış Berçin authored 2 years ago and Mark OLESEN committed 2 years ago

It has been observed that the finite-area framework is prone to numerical
issues when zero-valued edge lenghts, edge/face normals and face areas exist.

To improve exception handling at identified code sections to gracefully
overcome math errors, the problematic entities are lower-bounded by SMALL.

- README updated to v2212

- paraview (5.11.0), petsc (3.18.2), adios (2.8.3), scotch (7.0.1)

STYLE: init label variants with std::sqrt + double (compile-time invariant)

Specified using the optional 'omega' entry (Function1 type), e.g. for a constant
value:

      omega           12.56;

Note that the swirl contribution is applied in addition to the velocity set by
the 'flowType' option. For example, for the 'constantVelocity' option, parcels
are initially set the velocity according to the UMag and direction/cone angle;
the swirl velocity is then added.

ENH: dynamicContactAngleForce: new finite-area contact-angle force model
