Summary	0000426: Restarting solvers that use engineTime gives uneccesary error messages
Description	In sprayEngineFoam and coldEngineFoam (any solver built to use engineTime) the time file in the uniform directory for any given time directory has the time recorded in real time seconds as opposed to engine time crank angle. When restarting from this timestep, the solver complains that there is a mismatch between the start time and the time recorded in the uniform/time file, and if this doesn't matter then the time file should be deleted. The solver runs and there appear to be no issues with the solution itself, but this error is distracting. It might be a good idea to check out the compatibility of engineTime to ensure there aren't any hidden problems.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Start any engine case 2. Wait for at least a single time directory to be written 3. Stop the run 4. Start the run again from the last timestep (both of latestTime and startTime produce the same behaviour)
