Remove wavespeed correction in radiation flux (#582)

### Description

The wavespeed adjustment, $S = c \sqrt{f/\tau}$, in the HLL flux of
radiation energy (e.g.
[Jiang+2013](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013ApJ...767..148J/abstract),
[Skinner+2019](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019ApJS..241....7S/abstract))
is not necessary any more since we implemented the IMEX PD-ARS scheme.
All previous tests passed after this change. Two of the tests get
slightly worse results but still within the error tolerance. The fact
that it passed all the tests seems to suggest that this correction at
diffusion limit is no longer required. In fact, I have shown in the IMEX
paper that, at diffusion limit, the wavespeed is roughly $c
\sqrt{f/\tau}$.

Our numerical scheme gives the following discretization:

$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial t} E = \frac{\cal C}{3 \cal L}
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} \frac{E}{3}
$$

which is a diffusion equation with the correct diffusion coefficient.
The diffusion speed in time interval $t$ is approximated

$$
C_{\rm eff} \equiv \frac{\sqrt{D t}}{t} = \sqrt{\frac{\cal C}{3 {\cal L}
t}}
$$

In dimensional terms,

$$
C_{\rm eff,\ with \ dim} = 
    \frac{c}{\sqrt{3}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{{\rm CFL} ~\tau_{\rm cell}}}
$$

The $1/\tau$ correction is a natural result of the IMEX scheme. 

A side note: it might be possible to remove the 0.1 c floor of the
wavespeeds S_L and S_R while not causing any issues. Simply removing it
causes S_L = S_R = 0 and F = NAN in the 3D RadForce test *only*. I'll
take a second look at this in a future PR.
