TOVSolver: fix computation of Lorentz factor
Use the Valencia three velocity to compute the Lorentz factor. Add references to the definitions to code and param.ccl. Makes no difference for initial data that is at rest, so the testsuites are unchanged. git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinInitialData/TOVSolver/trunk@111 1bdb13ef-5d69-4035-bb54-08abeb3aa7f1
