[Carpet] request: add 1D output options to hdf5toascii_slicer

[Jonathan Thornburg]

Hi, Thomas,

A request for your (already very useful!) hdf5toascii_slicer program:

I'd like to see a new option-triplet
   --out1d-xline-yz <origin_y> <origin_z>
   --out1d-yline-xz <origin_x> <origin_z>
   --out1d-zline-xy <origin_x> <origin_y>
with obvious semantics.  Right now I can only get those by running
the current hdf5toascii_slicer output through a non-quite-trivial
perl script (non-quite-trivial because it certainly needs fuzzy
arithmetic, and potentially also careful handling of single-, double-,
and/or triple- blank lines).

ciao,
