[Gmsh] transfer physical groups to patches in version 4.3.0

[Marc Belleau]

Actually, as Professor Geuzaine told me, I verified that a version 2  
gmsh format will be understood by gmshToFoam as long as you dont check  
the save all elements checkbox in the pop-up window. But you are right  
about the OpenFOAM folks: they should have updated their gmshToFoam so  
that it understands the new version 4 gmsh format.

Thanks for the reply anyhow

Marc
