Proposed changes
This PR improves the accuracy of P_ADM and J_ADM by computing them as a sum of infinite volume integrals and finite surface integrals, which were derived from the standard ADM equations using Gauss' Law. We have attempted to use this same trick for other asymptotic quantities (ADM mass/energy and center of mass), but the volume version didn't improve accuracy. This is evident from the convergence plot below, in which the CoM volume results have been omitted because of blow-ups.
