mapping.  Fixes #983

Also extended the cubic equation test routine and modified the error
methods so that they more accurately generate the round of error of
evaluation.

- missing indexing caused the real radius to be largely ignored
  when useRealRadius = true

- the original intention was to avoid vtp output when the clouds are
  empty anyhow. However, it is useful for post-processing to have
  clouds with zero parcels (eg, before the start of injection).

  Pruning of empty clouds is now an option in the vtkCloud dictionary
  controls, with the default being false (no pruning). This represents
  a non-breaking change in behaviour since it generates more output
  than previously.

  Example,
  {
      type    vtkCloud;
      //- Suppress writing of empty clouds (default: false)
      prune   true;
  }

- use "min:xxx" format for AMIInterpolation as well

This method waits until all the threads have completed IO operations and
then clears any cached information about the files on disk. This
replaces the deactivation of threading by means of zeroing the buffer
size when writing and reading of a file happen in sequence. It also
allows paraFoam to update the list of available times.

Merge branch 'develop-pre-release' of develop.openfoam.com:Development/OpenFOAM-plus into develop-pre-release

- the backend script should not be accessible from the PATH.
  Using deprecated/ adds a level of documentation.

- functionObjectLibs -> libs
- redirectType -> name
- change deprecated writeCompression flags types to Switch.

- cleanup some trailing ';;' from some dictionaries

STYLE: separate areaNormal/unitNormal method for primitives (issue #885)
