Add Thermochimica submodule and coupling code

[dschwen]

Closes #22711

[dschwen]

Some comments

• Only one object per MOOSE simulation may initialize Thermochimica and set the database file (this is currently enforced by providing an action class that has a syntax that can only be instantiated once)
• No threaded runs (there is just on global state in Thermochimica)
• I'm planning to change the nodal user object to utilize writeableCoupledValue (this will require another PR that I'm working on)
• Thermochimica has an internal buffer for the data base path and filename that has a size limit of 120 chars. I already ran into this limit and had to adjust the tests dir structure accordingly (@maxposchmann maybe we can raise the limit or even make it dynamic...)

Is Relap-7 currently broken?

[dschwen]

Note to future self: we could support threaded execution and multiple Thermochimica instances with a wrapper that uses fork() to create child process copies of the running MOOSE executable. We'd set up pipes to communicate with each child. On Linux fork uses a copy-on-write memory model, so the child processes would be super lightweight. The children would remain in a read() loop that listens on the pipe for RPC calls to that get translated to Thermochimica API calls. Calculation results would be sent back through the pipe. Since the thermodynamic solves are pretty costly the RPC overhead is probably negligible, and it would allow us to take advantage of threading.

In most cases we don't update --init any submodules in moose in CI because we use modules for petsc and libmesh. They're only updated on the fly as needed. With this, I need to go add this submodule to each recipe that needs it. Which is fine... except I need to do some hackery to only init it if it's available

• Thermochimica has an internal buffer for the data base path and filename that has a size limit of 120 chars. I already ran into this limit and had to adjust the tests dir structure accordingly (@maxposchmann maybe we can raise the limit or even make it dynamic...)

@dschwen, if you have a suggestion for how to make this dynamic, please feel free to open another PR at Thermochimica.

Edit: I opened ORNL-CEES/thermochimica#109 for this purpose

RELAP-7 fixed

[dschwen]

Ugh, in this version of the PR I forgot to transfer the doc files. I'll have to fix that when I'm back next week.

Everything passed and is green (if you click through to Civet). Looks like the status update on Github is just not working right.

[GiudGiud]

It seems. i think a few comments did not get addressed too
