Update restart files of application tests for p4est 2.3.6 #1181

Description

deal.II changed the version of the dependancy p4est to 2.3.6 for their docker master-focal (the one we use for our CI with deal.II version master). We were using p4est 2.3.2, which makes some of our application-test restart files not compatible with the new p4est version.
Unfortunately, the previous restart files were generated a long time ago (> 9 months). The .prm has not been updated since then and they were a bit all over the place.

Solution

Update the .prm files with the proper parameter names.
Update the restart files that were failling.
Gather the .prm for the lethe-fluid-particles and lethe-fluid-vans .prm generator in the generator folder.
If the .prm restart generator file was not there, new ones have been created trying to replicated it.

Testing

All tests pass on CI with deal.II version master and they are now disabled with deal.II version 9.5.0.

Documentation

The next PR will modify the installation doc according to p4est 2.3.6

Miscellaneous (will be removed when merged)

Important note: The adaptive sparse contact test with lethe-fluid-particles is now a dummy test since it does not test all the mobility status anymore. I can say if it is a bug, if the .prm files to generated the restart files were wrong or if the small modification in DEM change the status in cfd-dem. I will open an issue about it since the mechanism is not properly tested at the moment see #1182

I kept all the generated restart files (even .pvdhandler) in case someone wants output from restarts

Clean up in .prm files
All has been moved to folder generator and path to the restart folder has been add in the .prm
Some .prm are missing
Tests has changed, the restarts files were pretty old >9 months, so hard to say if this is an issue or just the DEM has changed to much

Tiny comment. I think I will work on a script to automatically generate the restart files for every application tests we have.

@OGaboriault cool! Also, I did not redo all the restart files, only the ones that were failling and a few more. If we want fully automated generation of everything, we have to regenerate all restart and have a standardization to target them.
I was also thinking about having the restart files generator included in the check parameter script for examples. But the CI job for that one would need a new name

Not much to say, If all the test work its good for me :) It seems like a lot of reorganization, I like it! Congrats Audrey, It was probably a pain to update everything, thanks for your work :)

I would add an error when matrix.dealii_version != 'master' for clarity.
Something like:

Suggested change
if: ${{ matrix.dealii_version == 'master'}}
run: ...
else:
error:
message: "Version of deal.ii for tests is not the same as their master image."
code: 1
details: "Restart files are not compatible with deal.ii v9.5.0"

Is there a documentation of the else statement and error? I don't find it in the GitHub action documentation.
Also, giving an error won't failed the check?

If it gives an error it would indeed fail the check.
To keep the PR finalized because it's a critical one, let's postpone this check to a next PR. We can open an issue ot keep track of this idea, but to be honest, right now just writing a comment is all good for the time being. Throwing an error would break the CI and so code: 1 would most likely give an error.
Let's postpone that for the future

Nope, let's not change anything. Let's merge the PR as-is when you are ready with the current feature set. Then if we want to change other stuff, let's make small PRs for them

Does the new p4est version cause the changes in the application_tests? Or did the tests have been changed change?

In this case I'm not sure, but I don't think so. A few things have changed in the DEM solver that causes tiny differences. The mobility status can change in one iteration.
I build this test and it was pretty hard to get all the status with a very small number of particles. The test is probably very sensitive to the initial condition. Or the generation files in the repo were not the good ones.

I'm just curious, I don't even know what it does, but why does the output frequency has been set to 0?

It means that we do not generate output files. It's not a good idea to generate output files in the tests since i tends to slow down the CI significantly.

Actually, in fluid it does otuput the one at time = 0. Would it be better to write -1 for all tests? In DEM writing 0 does not generate outputs

Let's maybe do that in another PR where we just do that. For the time being let's keep this PR at the curent level it is.

If I understand correctly, we don't test .vtu anymore?

I don't think this test was testing that, especially since the test to not write any .vtu. But this is a very good point since no other test seems to test that for lethe-fluid!
And yeah, I just saw the person that did that was Audrey in 2020, and I guarantee that I did not really know what I was doing back then haha
Do you think it's a good idea to add them back and add outputs to the test?
