6814b97698 Add reverse look-up mapping for region vectors
Class RegionMapping<> provides an easy way of extracting the cells
that belong to any identified region (e.g., as defined by EQLNUM) of
the deck.

c582d00fb6 Compute phase pressures in subset of cells
This commit adds support for assigning the initial phase pressure
distribution to a subset of the total grid cells.  This is needed in
order to fully support equilibration regions.  The existing region
support (template parameter 'Region' in function 'phasePressures()')
was only used/needed to define PVT property (specifically, the fluid
phase density) calculator pertaining to a particular equilibration
region.

4c39a8a595 Add basic equilibration facility
This commit adds a simple facility for calculating initial phase
pressures assuming stationary conditions, a known reference pressure
in the oil zone as well as the depth and capillary pressures at the
water-oil and gas-oil contacts.

Function 'Opm::equil::phasePressures()' uses a simple ODE/IVP-based
approach, solved using the traditional RK4 method with constant step
sizes, to derive the required pressure values.  Specifically, we
solve the ODE

      dp/dz = rho(z,p) * g

with 'z' represening depth, 'p' being a phase pressure and 'rho' the
associate phase density.  Finally, 'g' is the acceleration of
gravity.  We assume that we can calculate phase densities, e.g.,
from table look-up.  This assumption holds in the case of an ECLIPSE
input deck.

Using RK4 with constant step sizes is a limitation of this
implementation.  This, basically, assumes that the phase densities
varies only smoothly with depth and pressure (at reservoir
conditions).
