[Users] TOVSolver interpolation algorithm

[Gabriele Bozzola]

Hi CJ Osakwe,

1D and 3D solutions look different because different coordinate systems are
being used,
so the meaning of "radius" changes. More specifically, Schwarzschild
coordinates in 1D, but
3D interpolation is performed with isotropic coordinates, which tend to be
better behaved
for numerical relativity simulations.

Best,
Gabriele
