At Ian Hawke's request, make the setting of an excision mask specifyable
on a per-horizon basis: The old parameter set_mask is now replaced by two new parameters: set_mask_for_all_horizons set_mask_for_individual_horizon[n] For most purposes, you can just change set_mask to set_mask_for_all_horizons in your parameter files. If you really want to control the setting of the mask on a per-horizon basis, read section 4.6 in the thorn guide to find out how the new parameters work. git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinAnalysis/AHFinderDirect/trunk@1222 f88db872-0e4f-0410-b76b-b9085cfa78c5
