EquidistantGrid is a grid with equidistant grid spacing per coordinat direction.
The domain is defined through the two points P1 = x̄₁, P2 = x̄₂ by the exterior
product of the vectors obtained by projecting (x̄₂-x̄₁) onto the coordinate
directions. E.g for a 2D grid with x̄₁=(-1,0) and x̄₂=(1,2) the domain is defined
as (-1,1)x(0,2). The side lengths of the grid are not allowed to be negative
