Philippose Rajan 0461899071 * Improved colour based boundary condition assignment for OCC geometry
* Now allows the boundary condition numbers to be assigned via a profile file "netgen.ocf" 
* The old algorithm for automated selection is used if no profile file exists

/*! \brief Automatically assign boundary conditions for OCC meshes
This function allows the boundary condition numbers of a
mesh created using an OpenCascade (STEP / IGES) geometry
to be assigned automatically.
The boundary conditions are assigned based on the face
colour information (if any) contained in the geometry.
Currently the following process is used to assign the BC Properties:
- Extract all the colours present in the OCC Geometry
- Use colour index 0 (zero) for all faces with no colour defined
- Calculate the number of faces of the surface mesh for each colour
- Sort the number of surface elements in ascending order, with the
colour indices as a slave
- Use the indices of the sorted array as the BC property number
Example: If there are 3 colours, present in the file and the number
of surface elements for each colour are:
- Colour 0: 8500
- Colour 1: 120
- Colour 2: 2200
- Colour 3: 575
The above is sorted in ascending order and assigned as BC Properties:
- BC Prop 0: 120 : Colour 1
- BC Prop 1: 575 : Colour 3
- BC Prop 2: 2200 : Colour 2
- BC Prop 3: 8500 : Colour 0 (no colour defined)
