Emily Boudreaux a5905e5fed feat(topology): vacuum coordinate and multi block ...

Two major changes in this version. First stroid now embeds a vacuum coordinate as part of its StroidMesh file (this is a packed set of mfem meshes and GridFunction). This is a logical coordinate from 0 at the stellar surface to 1 at the mesh surface / compactified infinity which can be used by consumers to much more stablly infer position in the vacuum region. Second, there is a new topology backend, multi_block, which has been made the default. See the readme for more information but the basic jist is that multi_block addes 6 transition blocks onto the edge of the core domain. This allows for a much more well conditioned transition from the internal cartesien region to the external spherical region. The mesh conditioning improves by roughly a factor of 1000 for the same refinement level when compared to the legacy topology. The legacy topology is maintained as a option if core_mapping is set to spherified in the config.
