Issue with injection of particles

I was having a lot of issues trying to get quasi-neutrality with the
injection of electrons and ions. Main issue was a definition of the
direction of injection. This should be fixed now (tested in 1D).

Added a definition for Half-Maxwellian velocity distribution.

WARNING: I'm still not happy at all about the definition of the
direction of injection and the velocity definition to be in that
direction so I might change it at some point (for example take into
account the sign of each direction in the thermal part of the velocity)
