Feature postpro

Summary

Extension of insitu visualization (runTimePostProcessing):

• parallel rendering
• direct use of VTK cutting plane and iso-surface filters
• live access to simulation data such as lagrangian clouds and geometry patches
• the ability to use stored surfaces and fields originating from another function object (eg, sampledSurfaces)

Significant cleanup and reimplementation of the surface sampling function object and all the surface writers to allow per-surface format specification. Added support for .vtp output of sampled surface with multiple fields in a single file.

Stored surface information can now be used for other field calculations (eg, surfaceFieldValue)

Images and description of the new functionality are attached to issue #1206 (closed)
