Fix infinite loop risk (Counter never incremented in a do-while loop) and add error messages

[dareumnam]

Pull request overview

• Fixes Counter never incremented in an do-while loop — infinite loop risk (HVACVariableRefrigerantFlow.cc) #11556
• Closes Fix infinite loop risk: Counter never incremented in a do-while loop  #11557
• In HVACVariableRefrigerantFlow.cc, the do-while loop to calculate Ncomp has a max iteration guard Counter >= 30, but Counter is initialized to 1 and never incremented inside the loop here.
  The adjacent similar block already does this correctly with Counter = Counter + 1, this block is just missing this kind of code.
• This also fixes a CppCheck knownConditionTrueFalse warning at HVACVariableRefrigerantFlow.cc:11383, where Counter >= 30 is flagged as always false.

Description of the purpose of this PR

• Pull requests that impact EnergyPlus code must also include unit tests to cover enhancement or defect repair
• Author should provide a "walkthrough" of relevant code changes using a GitHub code review comment process
• If any diffs are expected, author must demonstrate they are justified using plots and descriptions
• If changes fix a defect, the fix should be demonstrated in plots and descriptions
• If any defect files are updated to a more recent version, upload new versions here or on DevSupport
• If IDD requires transition, transition source, rules, ExpandObjects, and IDFs must be updated, and add IDDChange label
• If structural output changes, add to output rules file and add OutputChange label
• If adding/removing any LaTeX docs or figures, update that document's CMakeLists file dependencies
• If adding/removing any output files (e.g., eplustbl.*)

Reviewer

• Perform a Code Review on GitHub
• If branch is behind develop, merge develop and build locally to check for side effects of the merge
• If defect, verify by running develop branch and reproducing defect, then running PR and reproducing fix
• If feature, test running new feature, try creative ways to break it
• CI status: all green or justified
• Check that performance is not impacted (CI Linux results include performance check)
• Run Unit Test(s) locally
• Check any new function arguments for performance impacts
• Verify IDF naming conventions and styles, memos and notes and defaults
• If new idf included, locally check the err file and other outputs
