Closes #2557

Describe your changes here:
DO NOT MERGE! This PR ads a mesh deformation base class to make the mesh deformation extendable.
With that the general functionality of a specific method can be easily switched out by writing a new class. This can also be done from outside of t8code. So adding a new method is possible without changing t8code.

This PR is a draft as long the RBF methods aren't merged into main and is also not tested yet.

All these boxes must be checked by the AUTHOR before requesting review:

  • The PR is small enough to be reviewed easily. If not, consider splitting up the changes in multiple PRs.
  • The title starts with one of the following prefixes: Documentation:, Bugfix:, Feature:, Improvement: or Other:.
  • If the PR is related to an issue, make sure to link it.
  • The author made sure that, as a reviewer, he/she would check all boxes below.

All these boxes must be checked by the REVIEWERS before merging the pull request:

As a reviewer please read through all the code lines and make sure that the code is fully understood, bug free, well-documented and well-structured.

General

  • The reviewer executed the new code features at least once and checked the results manually.
  • The code follows the t8code coding guidelines.
  • New source/header files are properly added to the CMake files.
  • The code is well documented. In particular, all function declarations, structs/classes and their members have a proper doxygen documentation. Make sure to add a file documentation for each file!
  • README.md files are updated if necessary.
  • All new algorithms and data structures are sufficiently optimal in terms of memory and runtime (If this should be merged, but there is still potential for optimization, create a new issue).

Tests

  • The code is covered in an existing or new test case using Google Test.
  • The code coverage of the project (reported in the CI) should not decrease. If coverage is decreased, make sure that this is reasonable and acceptable.
  • Valgrind doesn't find any bugs in the new code. This script can be used to check for errors; see also this wiki article.

If the Pull request introduces code that is not covered by the github action (for example coupling with a new library):

  • Should this use case be added to the github action?
  • If not, does the specific use case compile and all tests pass (check manually).

Scripts and Wiki

  • If a new directory with source files is added, it must be covered by the scripts/internal/find_all_source_files.sh to check the indentation of these files.
  • If this PR introduces a new feature, it must be covered in an example or tutorial and a Wiki article.

License

  • The author added a BSD statement to doc/ (or already has one).
