- complicated pressure tensor derivation not required

- bug was caused by change in stride parameter passing

- relative application of stencil by passing in field accesses
- documentation + doctest

Make AssignmentCollection constructible/convertible from/to dict

-> last concentration is automatically computed as 1-others
-> makes code more general

- substitute_array_accesses_with_constants
- get_loop_hierarchy

- split groups have been ignored

- sweep updates pdf field in place, but does not load all the values
  before overwriting them
-> added a new transformation on AssignmentCollection that loads all
   read values first

-> by default sympy generates "fmin" C-function for sp.Min which
   is wrong for integer parameters

- was not used consistently before
- symbol names are expected to be valid C identifiers
- for complicated field names, the latex_name of field should be used

- small (length < 5) arrays with shape and stride information had to be
  memcpy'd to the GPU before every kernel call
- instead of passing the information as arrays, the single elements are
  passed
- leads to more function arguments, but simplifies GPU kernel calls

-> changes in all backends required

- put all buffer related stuff into separate functions
- should be functionally equivalent

Transformations on the Sympy equation level, that aim to reduce the amount of registers the Compiler needs. Primarily aimed at GPUs. The function livenessOptTransformation is a sequence of three sub transformations, which has been determined by a genetic optimization algorithm.
The file test_liveness_opts.py is a simple code that performs the transformation and tests whether the resulting equations are still generatable and compilable. Numerical results are not checked.

Make AssignmentCollection iteratable

- field access are now equal if their underlying fields compare as equal
  not only if the id of their fields are equal
