This PR is addressing issue-3894 by refactoring the CMake-generated kernel dispatch for MFD discretizations.
The previous CMake-generated dispatch created a single translation unit per generated type. While this approach minimized memory usage during compilation, it resulted in longer compilation times. An attempt was made to address this by creating a single translation unit containing all possible types; however, this approach is also suboptimal, as it reduces compilation time at the cost of excessive memory usage.
The current refactor proposes a solution between these two extremes by grouping translation units according to the number of faces of the intended polyhedral cell. This approach moderates memory consumption while keeping compilation times practical for developers.
Fixes #3894
