Enhance ABM performance a little bit by removing two std::set copy (#5815)

* Enhance ABM performance a little bit by removing two std::set copy

* ActiveBlockModifier::getTriggerContents now returns a const ref
* ActiveBlockModifier::getRequiredNeighbors now returns a const ref
* ActiveBlockModifier::getRequiredNeighbors is now purely virtual

* Little code style fix
