Tests have shown that PBiCGStab with the DILU preconditioner is more
robust, reliable and shows faster convergence (~2x) than PBiCG with
DILU, in particular in parallel where PBiCG occasionally diverges.

This remarkable improvement over PBiCG prompted the update of all
tutorial cases currently using PBiCG to use PBiCGStab instead.  If any
issues arise with this update please report on Mantis: http://bugs.openfoam.org

0fb6a01280 fluxRequired: Added setFluxRequired function to fvSchemes class
Added calls to setFluxRequired for p, p_rgh etc. in all solvers which
avoids the need to add fluxRequired entries in fvSchemes dictionaries.
