#254: fix up initialization flag for postprocessing so it doesn't require reverse
mode

The fix committed as
http://mercurial.mcs.anl.gov/ad/RegressionOpenAD/rev/c7231724e2a4
works but I don't agree with what it does because
the postprocessor options we accept shouldn't be restricted to adjoint
and I don't understand why initialization would have to be tied to
reverse mode. IOW - I think rather than changing the test script
I would instead permit the post processor to do the initialization bits.
A subsequent question that was still to be verified was if there could
be cases where initialization of local variables was also needed in
forward mode.
so
http://mercurial.mcs.anl.gov/ad/RegressionOpenAD/rev/c7231724e2a4
should be undone and replaced by a fix in SourceProcessing
