[GeoMechanicsApplication] Investigate performance of 'new' piping element

[rfaasse]

As a developer, I would like two equivalent methods of calculation to have a similar performance in case of piping calculations.

When looking at the sellmeijer test cases, there is a significant difference in performance between the old interface-based piping element and the new line-based element.

For example, when looking at this example, the 'old' version takes ~37s
test_sellmeijers_rule_height_35_7_36 (test_sellmeijers_rule_validation.TestSellmeijersRuleValidation) ... 36.594s ...ok

While the new one takes ~72s
test_sellmeijers_rule_height_line_35_7_36 (test_sellmeijers_rule_validation.TestSellmeijersRuleValidation) ... 72.415s ...ok

I've had a brief look using VTune, and it doesn't seem to be related to the calculation time in the piping element itself (which is negligible compared to the calculation time in the continuum elements), so it might be related to how quickly the calculation converges. Therefore it's different from the performance improvements we did for DGeoFlow

The first step is to look into the logging.
