Description

We have a lot of branching logic in the Riemann solvers that checks the direction, idir. These can easily be eliminated via templating.

Research direction

Start by locating the Riemann solver implementations and the branching on idir described in the issue. Review how direction-specific behavior is currently selected, then confirm that templating removes the branching while preserving solver behavior in every direction.
