[Users] Hydro_InitExcision par directory has more than just parameter files

[Erik Schnetter]

These tests should probably be moved into a thorn of its own that is
disabled by default. This makes it easy to run them if you want to (just
compile the thorn), and otherwise they are out of the way. No matter what,
the situation needs to be documented in a README, either in the new thorn,
or a README file in the par directory.

Bernard -- do you want to submit a pull request on Bitbucket?
