8e0e9e9d31 rename "(Volume|Flux)Variables" to "(In|Ex)tensiveQuantities"
"intensive" means that the value of these quantities at a given
spatial location does not depend on any value of the neighboring
intensive quantities. In contrast, "extensive" quantities depend in
the intensive quantities of the environment of the spatial location.

this change is necessary is because the previous nomenclature was very
specific to finite volume discretizations, but the models themselves
were already rather generic. (i.e., "volume variables" are the
intensive quantities of finite volume methods and "flux variables"
are the extensive ones.)

87f30dad6f refactoring: rename GridCreator to GridManager
because "manager" sounds less religious than "creator" and the
GridCreators did all kinds of other stuff besides creating the grid.

this patch also gets rid of the static function inside these classes,
which should make them easier to understand...
