Small refactor of the UniformMeshConverter to allow users to provide

just the block-level parameter names as a single list rather than
requiring the users/developers to differentiate in the code which
parameters are scalar or array values. This will now auto-detect the
type based on the parameter definition and then apply the correct
setters/getters.

Add an optional argument the ``makeAssemWithUniformMesh`` and
``setAssemblyStateFromOverlaps`` staticmethods to disable the
mapping of number densities on the creation of a new uniform assembly
or when mapping block-level parameter data between two assemblies.
This allows for more application-dependent flexibility for handling edge
cases. An example of where this is useful is in the situation of
moving meshes in vertical control rod movements.
