/**
 * This field is meant to be used to implement two possibilities for initialization of pressure fields in
 * Darcy flows. You can either use pressure of piezo-metric  head which are  related by adding gravity potential.
 * For various reasons we use pressure as the primary variable, so if the user enters piezo-head we need to add the potential to
 * the field he/she has provided. This is done by this class. Unfortunately it introduce one more level of indirection,
 * namely one more virtual call for getting the field value.
 *
 * - The field can not be initialized form the input.
 * - We allow only Scalar Value with element_type double.
