Non-isothermal Richards mechanics (monolithic scheme)

wenqing requested to merge wenqing/ogs:RM_T into master

This MR extends RichardsMechanics to ThermoRichardsMechanics. The implementation uses:

  • the monolithic scheme for fully coupled thermal hydraulic mechanics processes with the assumption of the partial saturated single phase flow represented by the Richards equation.
  • only the Newton-Rapshson method to linearize the PDEs.

Note: in the MPL, intrinsic permeability, porosity and storage properties are set as medium property. The relative permeability property is still a medium property (no related source code change).

In future, the implementation will be added as the monolithic scheme part of the implementation presented in MR !3095 (closed).
