Antisymmetry BC with surface-piercing topology

[gawng]

Purpose

This needs more test cases before it is ready for merging.

The antisymmetry BC is appropriate for high-speed foils near the free surface for modelling the loss of lift and increase in drag. This PR contains the antisymmetry option that works for surface-piercing topology (e.g., a strut).

Expected time until merged
