Merge with bendudson#212

Trying to get model closer to Horsten thesis (2019).
The net effect of these changes is to:
- Increase heat conduction by 5/3
- Increase heat advection by 5/3
- Increase viscosity by 5/2
- Add viscous heating

The atomic rates used in diffusion, viscosity, and heat conduction
coefficients are still different from Horsten 2019.
Convert from viscous heating power to rate of change of pressure.
Intended to be similar to Wim Van Uytven et al "Assessment of advanced
fluid neutral models for the neutral atoms in the plasma edge and
application in ITER geometry" Nucl. Fusion 62 (2022) 086023

Significantly slows convergence; may be something wrong in implementation.
Previous commit accidentally reversed the sign of the cross-field
particle flow, resulting in very poor convergence.

Flux limits are now enabled by default.
- This is for testing and the Rnn term may be removed permanently later
- The AFN limiters don't have this.
Check if float option is < 0 rather than equal to -1.
Remove some unused and commented-out code.
Flux limited particle flux is used in momentum flux before the
momentum flux is limited. Particle flux limiter applied to advection
of momentum and pressure.
Applies a time-averaging to the flux limit factors, with a given
timescale. Doesn't appear to have much benefit in quick tests, but
left in and turned off by default. May be removed if it really doesn't
do anything useful.
Following email from Wim Van Uyten, the flux limiters have been
modified: Parallel and perpendicular fluxes are used in calculating
the flux limiter, but only diffusive terms are modified by flux limiter
factors:
- Cross-field advection due to v_perp = - D * Grad_perp(log(Pn))
- Parallel and perpendicular viscosity, - eta_n * Grad(Vn)
- Parallel and perpendicular heat conduction, -kappa_n * Grad(Tn)

Limiters are chained, so the cross-field particle flux limiter is
used when calculating the viscosity and heat conduction limiters.
Changes after talk with Wim. Limiters now calculated from diffusive terms only and only affect diffusive terms. Also kappa and eta now correctly include particle flux limitation.
Upwinding and limiting with MC/MinMod are causing checkerboarding and/or crashes in the neutral_mixed example and provide seemingly no benefit in production runs. Reverting to original operator but with added flow diagnostics.
Probably better than deleting, we can revisit them in the future.

Reverting to original operator but with added flow diagnostics. Left warnings on the other operators, maybe we'll get back to them at some point.

Squashed with commit to update operator choice.
