Change the meshing implementation to use a factory class pattern #6

This will make the separation more clear and make it easier to add another meshing tool (such as cubit) if this is wanted. Follow the outline presented here? https://realpython.com/factory-method-python/

Work on this is ongoing in the factory_meshclasses branch

[x] Pull out the merging algorithm from export_brep and have it as a separate function.
[x] Move the export _brep functionality to GMSH-mesher backend - only gmsh needs it.
[ ] CUBIT-backend - this could for instance be done similarly to what is being done for gmsh. I.e. export parts of the mesh as a set of stls
