New CoSim tasks

Description

Proposed by @matekelemen:

• Simplify inheritance structures
• Make it clearer when and which InitializeSolutionStep and FinalizeSolutionStep is called
• Extend support for other solvers
  • Star-CCM+
  • FLOWer (within WINSENTvalid project - probably restricted access)
  • OpenFOAM (give it more visibility and make sure it stays up to date with current Kratos versions)

OpenFOAM (give it more visibility and make sure it stays up to date with current Kratos versions)

We should deeply think about this , how to properly ensure that current implementations do not break. And of course we would need some kind of CI, but our resources are limited. Maybe we should define some kind of CI structure so at least these implementations are verified monthly.

Yep, I think that's a good idea.

My vision for making sure this stuff doesnt always break was to make the examples-repo executable, at least then we would occasionally be able to check if things are still working
Ofc thats quite a bit or work...

Regarding flower, I wrote a dummy solver to make sure the coupling doesnt break. I doubt flower changes much, so thats probably not very critical
