ENH: regIOobject store() now also registers the object

Mark OLESEN requested to merge feature-regIOobject-store into develop
  • previously the store() method just set the ownedByRegistry flag. Now ensure that it is indeed registered first.

  • support register/store of tmp<> items. The tmp parameter is not cleared, but changed from PTR to CREF to allow further use.

    The implicit registration allows code simplification using the GeometricField::New factory method, for example.

    Old Code

    volScalarField* ptr = new volScalarField
    (
        IOobject
        (
            fieldName,
            mesh.time().timeName(),
            mesh,
            IOobject::NO_READ,
            IOobject::NO_WRITE,
            true  // Register
        ),
        mesh,
        dimless,
        zeroGradientFvPatchField<scalar>::typeName
    );
    ptr->store();

    New Code

    auto tptr = volScalarField::New
    (
        fieldName,
        mesh,
        dimless,
        zeroGradientFvPatchField<scalar>::typeName
    );
    regIOobject::store(tptr);

    or even regIOobject::store ( volScalarField::New ( fieldName, mesh, dimless, zeroGradientFvPatchField::typeName ) );
