collated fileHandler does not adjust timePrecision

Summary

Unlike the uncollated filehandler, the collated one does not adjust the timePrecision value to be able to read the time directory. Instead, it just crashes the run.

Steps to reproduce

  • Grab pretty much any tutorial case, I took pitzDaily.
  • Replace the 0 directory with something like 0.1234567
  • Change the file handler to collated in the controlDict, and timePrecision to something small, like 3.
  • Decompose and run, it will crash.

Note that the decomposition works, and you will see the warning about adjusting timePrecision. But the solver will crash.

What is the expected correct behavior?

That the timePrecision is adjusted, or at least crash with a clear error message.

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

Note that the error message is also confusing because it searches in processor0, which is not something one expects from the collated fileHandler. Easy to miss the fact that the time directory is wrong in a more practical case.
