Adds a viscosity thermal expansion coefficient for single phase fluid. This introduces a simple dependency of the viscosity on temperature.

The documentation has been updated to reflect this addition.

Replaces #3951

This model represents a compressible single-phase fluid with constant compressibility
and pressure-dependent viscosity.
For thermal simulations, the model density and viscosity have a temperature dependency
expressed as a constant thermal expansion coefficient.
