ADMBase: Change default value of initial_shift parameter to "zero"

Issue #565 closed
Bruno Mundim created an issue

Currently the default value of initial_shift is "none". GRHydro doesn't support shift_state = 0 anymore for example, and I believe most of the codes do need storage for the shift vector. So I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to change the default for the initial_shift parameter from "none" to "zero". Any opinions about it?

    I think this would avoid a lot of problems for beginner (and not so beginner!) users and mysterious segfaults. Any codes which don't need a shift probably don't care much about the additional memory that this change would cause to be wasted.
