!> This module contains type definition and routines for convergence to decide
!! steady state status.
!!
!! `convergence` may be a single table with the definition of the convergence
!! parameters or it might be a table of tables with each holding the definition
!! of a convergence criterion.
!!
!! The general `convergence` definition looks like this:
!!
!!```lua
!!  convergence = {
!!    variable = {'density', 'pressure'},
!!    time_control = {
!!      min = 0,
!!      max = {sim = 10.0},
!!      interval = {iter = 1}
!!    },
!!    shape = {kind='all'},
!!    reduction = {'average', 'average'},
!!    norm = 'average',
!!    nvals = 10,
!!    absolute = true,
!!    condition = {
!!      {threshold = 1.e-15, operator = '<=' },
!!      {threshold = 1.e-12, operator = '<=' }
!!    }
!!  }
!!```
!!
!! `variable` needs to be a list of variables from the variable system, providing
!! the quantities that are to checked for convergence.
!!
!! `time_control` needs to be a time control definition, see
!! [[tem_timeControl_module]] it defines the timespan within which the convergence
!! check should be active. Its interval setting describes when to perform the
!! necessary operations to decide whether a steady state is reached.
!!
!! `shape` needs to be shape definition to describe a subsection of the overall
!! domain in which the check for convergence is to be done (might be `{kind='all'}`
!! to take the complete simulation domain into account. See [[tem_shape_module]] for
!! more details.
!!
!! `reduction` needs to be a table of spatial reduction definitions for each variable.
!! Typical reduction operations could be `average`, `sum` and `l2norm`. This reduction
!! is applied to obtain a single value for the convergence decision across all elements
!! within the domain section defined by `shape`. See [[tem_reduction_spatial_module]]
!! for more details.
!!
!! `norm` describes how to treat the spatially reduced values over time.
!! There are two options: 'simple' will just compare the current value with the one
!! from the last check. 'average' will build the average over the `nvals` last values
!! that have been obtained via the spatial reduction. Default of this setting is to
!! use the simple comparison.
!!
!! `nvals` is a setting used if `norm = 'average'` and sets the size of the sliding
!! window in the historical data across which an average will be made to obtain the
!! value to compare against in the current check.
!!
!! `absolute` denotes whether to use an absolute or relative measure to make the
!! comparisons provided in the `condition` setting. The default is `false` that
!! which results in a relative measure. Relative means here, that the difference
!! of the current value and the comparison value is checked against the threshold
!! multiplied with the current value instead of using the threshold itself directly.
!!
!! `use_get_point` indicates whether to use individual points to obtain the values
!! or whole elements. Default is `false`, so the complete state of elements in the
!! shape will be used to find the reduced values.
!!
!! `ndofs` describes how many degrees of freedom to use from elements if
!! `use_get_point` is `false`. The default is to use all degrees of freedom, which
!! can be indicated by setting `ndofs = -1`.
!!
!! `condition` needs to be table providing the condition under which convergence
!! is assumed for each variable. The condition is defined by a threshold and an
!! operator. See [[tem_condition_module]] for details.
!!
!! Convergence is assumed if all variables defined in the convergence table
!! meet their defined definition.
!! To check for convergence a reduction and condition has to be defined for each
!! variable that is to be considered for the steady state check.

  !> Load the convergence definition table
  !! The convergence object must be part of a convergence object, for which the
  !! format has been set to format = 'convergence'
  !! In the convergence table, you then must define a norm:
  !!
  !! - simple: just check against the state value of the last check, and reach
  !!           convergence if below the defined threshold
  !! - average: build the average over a defined set of last checks with nvals
  !!           stop, if the difference to the current state value is below the
  !!           given threshold
  !! - nvals: define, how many last checks should be taken into account for
  !!          averaging procedure
  !!
  !! The error is by default calculated to be a relative error. If an absolute
  !! error is desired, choose absolute=true in the convergence object
  !!
  !! The stopping criterion is defined as a general condition object, where the
  !! threshold and the operator has to be given
  !!
  !!```lua
  !!  condition = { threshold = 1.E-6, operator = '<' }
  !!```
  !!
  !! A sample convergence object with a convergence definition can look as
  !! follows (within time_control table):
  !!```lua
  !!  abort_criteria = {
  !!   stop_file = 'stop',
  !!   steady_state = true,
  !!   convergence = {
  !!     variable = {'pressure','velocity'},
  !!     shape = {kind = 'all'},
  !!     time_control = {
  !!       min = {iter=0},
  !!       max = {iter=tmax},
  !!       interval = {iter=10*dt}},
  !!     reduction = {'average','average'},
  !!     norm='average', nvals = 100, absolute = true,
  !!     condition = {
  !!        { threshold = 1.e-15, operator = '<=' },
  !!        { threshold = 1.e-12, operator = '<=' }
  !!     }
  !!   }
  !!  }
  !!```
  !!
  !! Or another sample:
  !!```lua
  !!  abort_criteria = {
  !!    stop_file     = 'stop',
  !!    steady_state  = true,
  !!    convergence   = {
  !!      variable = {'pressure_phy'},
  !!      shape = {

  !!        {kind = 'canoND', object = {origin ={0.25+dx,0.2,zpos} }}
  !!      },
  !!      time_control = {min = 0, max = tmax, interval = 10*dt},
  !!      reduction = {'average'},
  !!      norm      = 'average',
