[1D] Add accessor functions for steady and relative tolerances
...
The existing functions for getting tolerances are difficult to use because
they return the tolerances based on the steady/unsteady mode of the solver
which the user shouldn't have to care about (and can't easily set).

[1D/Python] Fix range of components used when settings species tolerances
...
Boundaries do not necessarily have species variables, so setting species
tolerances will now raise an exception. This approach also avoids making
the assumption that the index of the first species equation is 4 in flow
domains.

[1D] Use most prevalent species to impose sum-of-mass-fractions constraint
...
Previously, the first species was always used, which could cause problems with
negative mass fractions in cases where the first species has a mass fraction
near zero.

Fix SurfPhase::setCoveragesNoNorm to retain negative coverages

e.g. in ReactingSurf1D.

of recovering from a failed timestep, like what is done in StFlow.

[1D] Fix transient mask after Jacobian update
...
The transient mask should only be zeroed when doing a full evaluation of the
residual function, since the partial evaluations done while evaluating the
Jacobian will not fill in all elements of the mask. This error was causing
Jacobian update in MultiNewton::solve to always effectively generate the
steady-state Jacobian, even when in time-stepping mode.

[1D] Modify fixed temperature selection to keep grid more uniform

The previous method for setting the fixed temperature point could add a point
very close to an existing grid point, which could then make convergence on the
initial grid difficult.
