v2.2.0

Summary

This release features a change in the input file dns.in, which was simplified to avoid a common source of confusion. Instead of prescribing uref, lref, and rey (reference velocity and length scales, and Reynolds number) to calculate the fluid viscosity as visc = uref*lref/rey, we directly prescribe the inverse of the viscosity, visci (visc = visci**(-1)), so all inputs are dimensional (see the updated docs/INFO_INPUT.md file). Note that visci has the same value as the flow Reynolds number for all files under examples, as uref and lref were always equal to 1. This change is backwards-incompatible - former input files should be updated from v2.2.0 onward!

In addition, this release features a minor bugfix, extensions and polishing as detailed below.
