Cleaning out unnecessary uses of r.o

[john-science]

What is the change?

Here I clean out all the unnecessary usages of r.o.

(I also remove the CustomModifier class, which is entirely unused in ARMI or anywhere downstream. I checked. And it was a major user of r.o.)

Why is the change being made?

This PR is progress towards, but not a complete picture of Jake's ticket to completely remove the Operator from the Reactor; #830.

What this PR leaves is the central usage and problem to solve the r.o problem, the fact that our Interface class just throws around r.o and o.r willy nilly:
