[FEATURE] [mesh] Load reference time from MDAL when available
Also adds combo box to let the user set the provider time unit. This is particularly useful when MDAL incorrectly recognised the time units in the raw dat format (for example format does nof follow spec and it is not possible to determine if time interval is in hours or days)

* [feature] support datasets with data defined on faces in mesh calculator, fix#30219, fix#30170
added "driver" and "group name" to the calculator interface.
MDAL now supports 3 drivers for storing results, so user must be able to choose appropriate driver and dataset group name (some drivers store multiple groups to 1 file)
Stacked 3D meshes store values on the volumes that are regularly stacked over base 2d mesh. User can select various 3d to 2d averaging/interpolation method to convert values on volumes (3d) to values on faces (2d) that can be shown in mesh layer. This is achieved by new tab in the mesh layer properties dialog.
* [FEATURE] Static particle traces for rendering mesh vector dataset
This PR permits to display directly in QGIS static particle traces for vector datasets in mesh layer without any plugin.
The user can choose in the mesh layer properties window :
- the color
- the size of the traces (line width)
- the count of particles
- the maximum length of the particle's tail
* [FEATURE] API for rendering frames for mesh vector dataset animation (particles)
Adds a renderer to generate frames that represent particle traces in a vector field of a mesh layer. The renderer cannot be chosen in the current GUI, however crayfish plugin can use API to generate avi/gif files with nice animations representing the movement of (random) particles in the mesh layer vector field.
* [FEATURE] Mesh streamlines
fix#29534
The vector field data set in a mesh layer can currently be only rendered with arrows. This PR adds a new feature to render vector field in mesh layers with streamlines.
The streamlines are seeded from start points. The seeding points can start from the vertices of the mesh, from a used grid or randomly. Streamlines could be coloured or width can be selected.
The mesh styling dialog now has new combo box for selection of resampling method for datesets defined on faces.
Also the analysis library has new class QgsMeshContours with export function for contour lines and contour polygons.
CRS validation, regardless of the user's settings
This avoids hacks put in place in other parts of QGIS code or in plugins
to temporarily deactivate the CRS validation prompt, providing a supported,
stable method to indicate that when loading a particular layer no CRS
validation is required.
[feature] [mesh] #20731 add option to format time in mesh layer
There is new settings dialog that can be opened by button next to time slider. User can set reference time and time format (e.g. 2019-03-21 22:01:11).
For the c++ api dox this expands to "\c nullptr" (the
\c directive indicates a code literal value), and for sipify/Python
it expands to ``None`` (`` is sphinx annotation for literal values)
Makes for nicer dox for both c++ and Python!
Similarly to raster calculator, mesh calculator can take dataset groups from current mesh layer and
combine them with various aritmentic/logical operators to new dataset group.
