This was causing strange results in a pitch free decay when a symmetric potential flow (WAMIT) body was rotated by 180 degrees.

Bug description
An incorrect reference frame was applied to mesh used for the potential flow bodies when rotated using the
PtfmRefztRotinput in the main HydroDyn input file. This mesh reference orientation should have been set to the identity.@rdamiani found this bug in testing a proprietary floating platform design including both Morison and potential flow elements. He had noticed that rotating the
WAMITbody produced a different period in a pitch free decay test. It is expected that this frequency would be identical for an axisymmetricWAMITbody. See #914 for plots.For further testing, a very simple test using a purely potential flow (
WAMITbody) floating platform from the ITI Barge test case (5MW_ITIBarge_DLL_WTurb_WavesIrrregression test). Turning off waves and wind, a free decay test from -5 degrees initial pitch is performed.Before fix:

Impacted areas of the software
Potential flow (WAMIT) bodies in HydroDyn that are rotated will be affected. No regression tests currently exist using this feature.
