ASPECT 3: Update some of our default values #5568

This came out of a discussion at the ASPECT User Meeting. There are some default values that we have found out later could be chosen in a better way and that we might want to update. Let's collect all of those in this issue:

  • For GMG: Increase number of Cheap solver steps/do not do expensive steps at all

I would generally recommend choosing 0 expensive steps for GMG. That is different for the AMG solver, though.

With the current situation of the GMG not converging when switching from cheap to expensive, we could enforce either of the two values to be 0. @MFraters does that make sense to you?
