Enhanced meshing of fractured domains in 3d.

Enhanced robustness of fracture intersection methods.
Less complex export routine to Gmsh, smaller chances of failure.
Several performance enhancements.
Automatic tuning of mesh size in 3d.
Simple functionality for extrusion of fractures from 2d outcrop to 3d.

 # Setting up GMSH
 PorePy currently depends on `GMSH` for meshing of fractured domains. 
 To make this work, you need gmsh installed on your system, and PorePy needs to know where to look for it.
-First, visit the [GMSH webpage](http://gmsh.info) and download a suitable version. 
+First, visit the [Gmsh webpage](http://gmsh.info) and download a suitable version. 
 Extract, and move the binary (probably located in the subfolder gmsh-x.x.x-Linux/bin or similar) to whereever you prefer.
 
-Note to Linux users: Although GMSH is available through the standard packaging tools, it tends to be hopelessly outdated, 
+NOTE: We have experienced that some fracture geometries are best handled by somewhat older versions of Gmsh (2.11 seems to be a good version) - newer versions are often result in error messages. Until this is resolved, we therefore recommend to use Gmsh 2.11 with PorePy.
+
+Note to Linux users: Although Gmsh is available through the standard packaging tools, it tends to be hopelessly outdated, 
 and resulted in severe issues for the fracture meshing last time we checked. Use the GMSH web page instead.
