b99817d924 Rationalized heat release rate functions
Combined 'dQ()' and 'Sh()' into 'Qdot()' which returns the heat-release rate in
the normal units [kg/m/s3] and used as the heat release rate source term in
the energy equations, to set the field 'Qdot' in several combustion solvers
and for the evaluation of the local time-step when running LTS.

99a10ecea6 Boundary conditions: Added extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField
To be used instead of zeroGradientFvPatchField for temporary fields for
which zero-gradient extrapolation is use to evaluate the boundary field
but avoiding fields derived from temporary field using field algebra
inheriting the zeroGradient boundary condition by the reuse of the
temporary field storage.

zeroGradientFvPatchField should not be used as the default patch field
for any temporary fields and should be avoided for non-temporary fields
except where it is clearly appropriate;
extrapolatedCalculatedFvPatchField and calculatedFvPatchField are
generally more suitable defaults depending on the manner in which the
boundary values are specified or evaluated.

The entire OpenFOAM-dev code-base has been updated following the above
recommendations.
