Allow plotting only a subset of Amr levels
Summary
If the user would like to limit plotfile size on disk, they can plot only a subset of the levels -- this should still be an accurate (though lower resolution) representation of the fluid state since the state is averaged down at the end of the timestep.
fcompare is also updated to allow comparing between plotfiles with different numbers of levels.
