Summary

Needed to implement coupling with Kynema as an aero + turbine model. To avoid duplicating code and to ensure I was doing the right things, I templated the existing OpenFAST interface and made the Kynema interface another specialization of that template. Kynema does a lot less "under the hood" compared to OpenFAST, especially for initialization, so the template specialization is much more involved. The *Iface.cpp and *_types.H files are the main ones that have to be changed depending on the template; the others are simpler and mostly for instantiation.

At this point, the templates for OpenFAST are basically done, though they will probably be tweaked later in the process. Both act_uniform_alm reg tests pass!
