Exend output of fvOptions with respect to the status of activate keyword

Functionality to add/problem to solve

When using fvOption models, we don't get any information about if the model is active or not. E.g. having several cases while using porous media activated and deactivated it is not possible to know if a case was run with or without the porous model (it cannot be determined via the log file). To make it more consistent, I added the output if the model is active or not.

Proposal

Applying the proposed patch lead to the given additional output. Feel free to change the output if you wish but in general this simple output is nice to have in general.

Thanks a lot Tobi (@shorty),

For future reference: The active flag is not runtime modifiable, so its state could not be changed once the simulation begins. For this reason, I think, a deactivated finite-volume option should never be initialised and be reported in the log in the first place.
