Add an option to use absolute tolerance
Issue/feature addressed
When using an iterative solver, the absolute tolerance is more useful to supress numerical oscilaltions in the force history. Since force is directly correlated with the absolute values of pressure (p) and velocity (0.5 rho U^2), oscillations in the force should have the order of tolerance of pressure, or U multiplies the tolerance of velocity.
Proposed solution
A bool-type variable is introduced to indicate if the tolerance is an absolute tolerance.
