The ADMMass thorn calculates the ADMMass by the spacetime, but not
including punctures. The best way to go about that is to exclude the BH
interior from the ADMMass calculation (there are already parameters for
that), and to add the BH mass returned by the AHFinder (AHFinderDirect)
to that for a total mass.
