Integration of VOF MULES new interfaces. Update of VOF solvers and all instances
of MULES in the code.
Integration of reactingTwoPhaseEuler and reactingMultiphaseEuler solvers and sub-models
Updating reactingEuler tutorials accordingly (most of them tested)

New eRefConst thermo used in tutorials. Some modifications at thermo specie level
affecting mostly eThermo. hThermo mostly unaffected

New chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam solver for quenching and tutorial.

Phases sub-models for reactingTwoPhaseEuler and reactingMultiphaseEuler were moved
to src/phaseSystemModels/reactingEulerFoam in order to be used by BC for
chtMultiRegionTwoPhaseEulerFoam.

Update of interCondensatingEvaporatingFoam solver.

- make the purpose more explicit, and reduces some work for the
  compiler as well.

- use a Pair<scalar> with first() / last() residuals

Fields now correspond to the initial residual for the first solver
iteration

Now solvers return solver performance information for all components
with backward compatibility provided by the "max" function which created
the scalar solverPerformance from the maximum component residuals from
the SolverPerformance<Type>.

The residuals functionObject has been upgraded to support
SolverPerformance<Type> so that now the initial residuals for all
(valid) components are tabulated, e.g. for the cavity tutorial case the
residuals for p, Ux and Uy are listed vs time.

Currently the residualControl option of pimpleControl and simpleControl
is supported in backward compatibility mode (only the maximum component
residual is considered) but in the future this will be upgraded to
support convergence control for the components individually.

This development started from patches provided by Bruno Santos, See
http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1824

Also removed __GNUC__ conditional compilation statements which are no
longer needed.

SIMPLEC (SIMPLE-consistent) is selected by setting "consistent" option true/yes:

SIMPLE
{
    nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0;
    consistent yes;
}

which relaxes the pressure in a "consistent" manner and additional
relaxation of the pressure is not generally necessary.  In addition
convergence of the p-U system is better and reliable with less
aggressive relaxation of the momentum equation, e.g. for the motorbike
tutorial:

relaxationFactors
{
    equations
    {
        U               0.9;
        k               0.7;
        omega           0.7;
    }
}

The cost per iteration is marginally higher but the convergence rate is
better so the number of iterations can be reduced.

The SIMPLEC algorithm also provides benefit for cases with large
body-forces, e.g. SRF, see tutorials/incompressible/SRFSimpleFoam/mixer
and feature request http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1714
