- 1_Inlet_2_Outlet/porosityBased/R_10x-init/reEval: showcases the
  initialization of the design variables using topoSet and setFields
- 3DBox/losses-mass-uniformity-SQP-extraVars: showcases the use of the
  so-called 'extra variables' in the QP problem which relax it,
  allowing its solution even if there is no feasible one

in topology optimisation, through a volScalarfield named alpha.
The order of precedence is (top to bottom):
- values read from time/uniform/topOVars (used also for continuation)
- values read from 0/alpha (can be easily set with topoSet + setFields)
- uniform zero

Can accelerate convergence in cases without constraints

to Function1, to be able to change their value at runtime.  Useful when
constraints are not feasible at the beginning of the optimisation
(frequent in topology optimisation) and we want to leave some room to
the optimiser to not focus heavily on them at the beginning, but respect
them during the last optimisation cycles.

Has a big impact, especially in MMA, when dealing with volume
constraints in topology optimisation.
