A user recently reported seeing some NaNs in photon flux mesh tallies. I traced this down to some divide-by-zeros in
StructuredMesh::bins_crossed
. This PR simply checks whether the total distance in a track is zero (as can happen when secondary electrons/positrons are created and immediately killed) and returns to prevent the divide-by-zero issue.Also, I noticed that the
rectangular_prism
function doesn't work cleanly with periodic boundary conditions after our boundary condition refactor (#1701). Also included a fix for that.
