ENH: solarLoad, fvDOM: enable time-dependent spectralDistribution
DOC: solarLoad, fvDOM, solarCalculator: improve header documentation
TUT: solarLoadModel, solarDirectionModel: use new shorter entries

- robuster handling of different VTK versions

- compilation changes for avalanche, cfmesh

For example,
```
entry #eval 10 { vector(rand(), 0, 0) };
```

ENH: be more generous and ignore trailing ';' in expressions

STYLE: adjust parse token name for tensor::I

- previously had a very old (likely irrelevant) setting for solaris
  systems only.

- support site-specific customization.
  Eg, using etc/config.{csh,sh}/prefs.fjmpi

- remove erroneous shell redirects present in cshell files

- less important for VTK (may help in future though) but preserve
  the face point 0 when flipping faces to ensure that the result
  is the same as having called face::reverseFace()

ENH: new solvers: overPhaseChangeInterFoam and overCompressibleInterDyMFoam

See merge request Development/openfoam!425

- overCompressibleInterDyMFoam: Overset solver for two compressible,
non-isothermal, immiscible fluids using a VOF (i.e. volume of fluid)
phase-fraction based interface capturing approach.
- overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam: Overset solver for two incompressible,
isothermal, immiscible fluids with phase-change (e.g. cavitation) using
VoF (i.e. volume of fluid) phase-fraction based interface capturing approach.
- adds new tutorials:
  - multiphase/overCompressibleInterDyMFoam/compressibleTwoSimpleRotors
  - multiphase/overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam/twoSimpleRotors

- useful when used in a batch process to trap the exit signal,
  e.g. stop the run when the velocity magnitude exceeds a given
  threshold:

    runTimeControl
    {
        type            runTimeControl;
        libs            ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
        nWriteStep      1;

        // Optional end 'action'
        satisfiedAction abort; // end; // setTrigger

        conditions
        {
            maxU
            {
                type            minMax;
                functionObject  MinMax;
                fields          ("max(mag(U))");
                value           1e6;
                mode            maximum;
            }
        }
    }

- adjust sync condition (continuation of 201f117f)

- truncates output file, handles compressed streams

- if the system/decomposeParDict is missing, skip check for matching
  number of processor dirs. This can make job dispatch easier.
  Does not apply if -decomposeParDict was explicitly specified.

STYLE: adjust naming of host/slaves in argList

- ensure that the processor directory cache is consistently available
  by providing appropriate synthesized names. If the expected files
  really do not exist, it will still fail at a later point (but not in
  the caching).

  This addresses cases that have been manually distributed
  (different content on different nodes, but the same root path),
  while still maintaining the readDir on master only for massively
  parallel cases (#1946). It also addresses regular cases with
  gaps in the processor directories.

- new '-ascii' option to write in ASCII format instead of the
  controlDict setting. This can be useful when generating fields that
  should be parsed with other tools, or for visual inspection.

- correct mismatch of option names and lookups

- can use either command-line option "-load-fields" or dictionary
  entry "readFields" to specify field names to be preloaded.

  Essentially the same functionality as with a readFields function
  object but with a lot less typing.

- tutorial examples provided by Ryan Danks <ryan.danks@rwdi.com>
  illustrate using setExpr* utilities to calculate a quantity
  as a post-processing step.
