[Users] NaNs between [CCTK_PREREGRID] and [CCTK_PRESTEP]

[Erik Schnetter]

Severin

The major algorithmic step that happens between regridding and
evolution is cycling time levels. At the beginning of each evolution
step, time levels are cycled, so that the current time level of all
evolved variables contain undefined values, to be filled in during
evolution. Since you disabled GRHydro, no time evolution happens, and
these undefined values are detected by the NanChecker.
