The element was never used, but solely passed to have a conforming
interface to the TPFA filler. However, the interfaces are not the same
anyway, since e.g. IVDataStorage is passed to the mpfa filler.

* For wall distance calculations use the call to boundary types

* collect the distance to a wall for each element
* collect the wall element's direction index

- Ignoring the first two roots of the equation for Z in the
  smallest one is zero or negative. There was a comment
  documenting that behavior, but it was not implemented.

- Throwing NumericalProblem if no positive Z has been found
  or the number of roots is 2 or more than 3
  (no check was in place)

- Throwing NumericalProblem if the found molar volume turned
  out to be zero, negative, or NaN. (Replacing assert)

- Added handleUnphysicalPhase flag (true by default). If false, the
  single-root case is not checked for critical state of
  the fluid (otherwise, Michelsen test for a mix of
  hydrocarbons does not work).

[freeflow] Add mass/energy model and donea/channel/sincos test with new staggered

The condition leads to a velocity profile that spreads in all directions
at the outlet of a channel.
