Minkowski Initial

Currently only Cartesian coordinates are supported, and the metric and extrinsic curvature are set as:

\begin{eqnarray*}
g_{xx} = g_{yy} = g_{zz} &=& 1
\\
g_{xy} = g_{xz} = g_{yz} &=& 0
\\
K_{ij} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray*}

Depending on the metric_type and conformal_storage the conformal factor is set to

\begin{eqnarray*}
\psi &=& 1
\\
\psi_{,i} &=& 0
\\
\psi_{,ij} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray*}
