#2016: McLachlan sets r->infty values of metric incorrectly

Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version

-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
The (not usually used) "radiative" boundary condition uses the
gt11_bound_limit etc to specify the limit of the fields at large radii.
However right now the defaults for gt11, gt22, gt33 are all zero which is
rather useless. I know that default values are not "sensible" values but
rather "historical" values, but I question at which point in time it made
sense to have the diagonal elements of the metric that we assume to become
Minkowsky (since phi->0) would tend to zero.
