 requests/53/rhaas-updates/diff https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactuspugh
 /pull-requests/3/pugh-initialize-new-cgh-fields/diff contain accumulated
 updates to Carpet, Cactus and PUGH in the funhpc branches.

 I have verified that the three pull requests produce bit-identical output
 for the qc0-mclachlan.par parfile using 5 MPI ranks and 2 threads per rank
 on my workstation (debian-buster, gcc 8.2).

 A summary of changes:

 * add support for very large grids where 64bit integer are needed for grid
 indices and sizes of transfer buffers
 * fix how how physical_time_per_hour is computed
 * add functionality to align interior of grid functions to cache
 boundaries. This requires changes to Cactus and PUGH as well.
 * add a parameter "granularity" to make sure the interior of components is
 a multiple of N points in each direction
 * always align data if VECTORISE_ALIGN_FOR_CACHE is set in option list
 indep. of pad_to_cachelines runtime parameter
 * cleanup, reformatting, minor speedups

 To compare the changes it is not advisable to look at the diff directly.
 It is much better to run both the current and the new version through
 clang-format first:
 {{{
 cd repos/carpet
 git checkout master
 git checkout -b master-formatted
 clang-format -style=file -i */src/*.{cc,hh}
 git commit -a -m 'Beautify code'
 git checkout rhaas/carpetUpdates
 git checkout -b rhaas/carpetUpdates-formatted
 clang-format -style=file -i */src/*.{cc,hh}
 git commit -a -m 'Beautify code'
 git diff master-formatted..rhaas/carpetUpdates-formatted
 }}}
 which is more manageable (but still multiple thousands of lines)
