Feature external coupled

Code infrastructure that help with adding arbitrary additional loops into solvers. One example is for cht energy coupling.

Sometimes observed an odd race condition whereby the OpenFOAM file (T.out) apparently hasn't been fully flushed prior when the slave-side receives it, thus generating a zero-sized T.in

This may be the cause of the observed failure (issue #651 (closed)). At the moment I'm not certain if this is only linked to the logic of the tutorial case or if there is an inherent race condition elsewhere that either needs to be stopped or avoided with a sleep.

mentioned in issue #651 (closed)
