Fixed "automatic" grid calculation error for wave_reader
The "automatic" (unmapped) grid calculation used by wave_reader (automatic_grid in BaseCase.cpp) was in error for grids of Chebyshev-type. Instead of computing: z = -Lz/2 + Lz/2*cos(pi*(0:(N-1))/(N-1)) it instead computed z = -Lz/2 + Lz/2*cos(pi*(0:(N-1))/N) (to use matlab-style notation). This caused the written-out zgrid to be in error near the bottom (max z-index) boundary. Files using a chebyshev-type unmapped x-coordinate would see the error as well in the x-grid (max x-index). This error affects only processing that uses the grid variables itself. Within wave_reader where this was used, the automatic-generated grids were used only for writing out; the input velocities and density were read directly in from their corresponding files. Likewise, SPINS performed the "correct" differentiation internally without reference to the grid coordinate.
