refactor checkpoint implementation
The checkpointing implementation is currently very complex. There are many edge cases e.g. if field-background is used.
Maybe we should separate checkpointing from dumpOnStep
Note: field background now takes care of it internally. But yes, implementing it needed knowledge of how exactly checkpoints work.
The issue is still open and moderately pressing - now it works fine but is quite fragile if there are changes needed to this part. Unassigning myself.
@psychocoderHPC what is the status of this issue?
There is no time to work on this issue :-(
