Writing/reading grid structure should be explicit operations
Issue #286
new
Carpet should offer explicit routines to write and read all grid structure metadata. One method could be to serialise this information to a string that can then either be written to HDF5 (as is done now), or could be interpreted by post-processing scripts.
This would clean up checkpointing, and would also allow reading/writing arbitrary grid functions at a later time.
