FX Boundary Value UserObject

Generates an Functional Expansion representation for a boundary value condition using a 'FunctionSeries'-type Function

Description

This UserObject captures the moments of an FX representing the value at a boundary. It does this via subclassing the templated FXIntegralBaseUserObject with SideIntegralVariableUserObject as the policy parameter.

FXIntegralBaseUserObject also ensures that the provided Function is a subclass of FunctionSeries.
