/**
 * @brief Edge lumped mixed-hybrid solution of unsteady Darcy flow.
 *
 * The time term and sources are evenly distributed form an element to its edges.
 * This applies directly to the second Schur complement. After this system for pressure traces is solved we reconstruct pressures and side flows as follows:
 *
 * -# Element pressure is  average of edge pressure. This is in fact same as the MH for steady case so we let SchurComplement class do its job.
 *
 * -# We let SchurComplement to reconstruct fluxes and then account time term and sources which are evenly distributed from an element to its sides.
 *    It can be proved, that this keeps continuity of the fluxes over the edges.
 *
 * This lumping technique preserves discrete maximum principle for any time step provided one use acute mesh. But in practice even worse meshes are tractable.
 *
 * Ideas how to unify steady and unsteady flow:
 * zero_time_step:
 *
 * -# Set initial time.
 * -# Read initial condition. Reconstruct pressures.
 * -# Assembly system (possibly in matrix free way).
 * -# Reconstruct velocities (schur complement resolve).
 * -# Solve iteratively as regular time step if an input flag "steady_initial_time" is set.
 * -# (Detect that there is no time term. I such case use arbitrary long time step up to next change of data.
 *     Some kind of time step estimator would be nice.
 *
 * update solution:
 *
 * -# Move to the next time.
 * -# Update fields
 * -# Nonlinear solve.
 * -# In case of slow convergence, use shorter time-step, within estimated limits. Otherwise there is a different problem.
