Surface output for forces in lift and drag directions

[sseraj]

Purpose

This PR adds force coefficients per unit area projected in the lift and drag directions as surface output variables. Here is an example of the force in the drag direction for the MACH tutorial wing case:

It would be great if the reviewers could test this on their own cases.

Expected time until merged

2-3 weeks

@sanjan98 and I will take a look soon. I believe it is time to make a new release for ADflow. There are no breaking changes here, right @sseraj ? Likely a patch release will be enough.

[sseraj]

That's right, there are no breaking changes in this PR. There have been some breaking changes since the last release though, like #330 and #359 to some extent.

[marcomangano]

Ok, so we should go for a minor release overall, given all these changes since the latest one. We can wait for #362 to be merged since it's minor and should be ready by the end of the week. If @lamkina is ok we can bump the minor (?) version here in the meantime?

[lamkina]

I think bumping the minor version here makes sense. #362 is just adding tests so I don't think it needs to be factored into the version bump.
