- this provides a better typesafe means of locating predefined cell
  models than relying on strings. The lookup is now ptr() or ref()
  directly. The lookup functions behave like on-demand singletons when
  loading "etc/cellModels".

  Functionality is now located entirely in cellModel but a forwarding
  version of cellModeller is provided for API (but not ABI) compatibility
  with older existing user code.

STYLE: use constexpr for cellMatcher constants

- warn or fatal if Pstream::init or Pstream::exit are called multiple
  times.

- additional Pstream::initNull method as failsafe to initialize MPI
  when the underlying OpenFOAM process is not running in parallel but
  the application still needs MPI.

- Pstream::exit() can now also be called without having used MPI::init(),
  which means it can be used to cleanup serial process or for
  applications that used the special purpose Pstream::initNull()
  mechanism.

- now also fixed collated output format

STYLE: use Ostream writeEntry when writing key/value entries

See merge request OpenFOAM-plus!168

- occurred when variable name exceeded the 15-char alignment format
  and the name run into the previous field.

- reduces ambiguity between matching a list of strings and a single string.

ENH: support change of Pstream buffer format via flag modifier

See merge request OpenFOAM-plus!166

Feature field average windowing

See merge request OpenFOAM-plus!165

- allows changing the format of the sending OPstream at an arbitrary
  point in the transmission. The information is passed through the
  buffer and the receiving IPstream changes its format accordingly.
  This allows a temporary toggling of ASCII/BINARY mid-stream.

- support when creating modules for OpenFOAM.

- the return value signals if this method handled this particular type
  of token. This minor change allows this method to be used as a succinct
  prefilter an output token stream. It also provides better encapsulation
  of what the particular output stream handles.

  Eg,

      bool ok = os.write(tok);
      if (!ok)   // or   if (!ok && os.good())
      {
          os << tok;
      }

  instead of

      if (tok.type() == typeA || tok.type() == typeB || ...)
      {
          os.write(tok);
      }
      else
      {
          os << tok;
      }

dictionary compatibility/migration methods

See merge request OpenFOAM-plus!162

- when dictionary keywords change between versions, the programmer
  can use these compatibility methods to help with migration.

    * csearchCompat, foundCompat, lookupEntryPtrCompat, lookupEntryCompat,
      lookupCompat, lookupOrDefaultCompat, readIfPresentCompat, ...

  They behave like their similarly named base versions, but accept an
  additional list of older keyword names augmented by a version number.
  For example,

      dict.readIfPresentCompat
      (
          "key", {{"olderName", 1612}, {"veryOld", 240}},
          myscalar
      );

   where 1612=OpenFOAM-v1612, 240=OpenFOAM-v2.4.x, etc.

- If the entry could be directly inserted: a pointer to the inserted entry.
- If a dictionary merge was required: a pointer to the dictionary that
  received the entry.
- Return nullptr on any type of insertion failure.

This change is code compatible with existing code since it only alters
a bool return value to be a pointer return value.
