Purpose
This PR adds the feature to create a local integration bubble around each turbine allowing for quicker assemblies. It works by marking the mesh cell in a sphere around each turbine and then labeling them. This way, when integrating or assembling the A matrix, FEniCS only need to assemble a small cluster of DOF per turbine rather than the full global domain. Since the turbine function rapidly go to zero, this approximation should be sound while saving significant compute time.
Type of change
Testing
The approximation is so good that all the current CI test work using this new integration except for the ALMx2_Unsteady case.
