Clarify MAX_LEVEL

Goal

Regard MAX_LEVEL as a pure refinement criterion that can be changed during runtime or after restart. As a result, we should allow patches to exist on levels higher than MAX_LEVEL temporarily.

Tasks

  • MAX_LEVEL should only be used in refinement routines
  • Replace MAX_LEVEL with TOP_LEVEL or NPatchTotal[] whenever appropriate
  • Make sure that all routines work properly and efficiently on levels without any patch
  • Test changing MAX_LEVEL in the following two cases
    • During runtime
    • After restart
  • Rename MAX_LEVEL as FLAG_MAX_LEVEL to better distinguish it from TOP_LEVEL (which is defined as NLEVEL-1).
