Changed the OpenFOAM module name to ExternalInflow.
This PR is ready to merge.
Feature or improvement description
Many years ago, OpenFAST was linked to SOWFA through the code OpenFOAM. The module in OpenFAST that linked to OpenFOAM was also called OpenFOAM.
However, now multiple CFD codes, including SOWFA, NALU-Wind, and AMR-Wind, provide wind information to OpenFAST. Thus the OpenFOAM module name no longer makes sense as the OpenFOAM software package is not the only code used. So the OpenFOAM module in OpenFAST is changing names to the more descriptive name of ExtInflow.
Related issue, if one exists
Cancelled PR #1450
Impacted areas of the software
The CFD codes that use OpenFAST will need to change the names of the routines they call.
Additional supporting information
Module short name changed from OpFM to ExtInfw (this is only used within the OpenFAST code).
Test results, if applicable
No test results change, but the input files have a minor change for the CompInflow line.
