Following #5338, the default value for the parameter
Peierls strain rate residual tolerance
seemingly doesn't need to be so strict because the residual is now relative to the log of the strain rate. Opening this PR was motivated by models that I was running using the default value that could not converge, but using a value of 1e-10 - 1e-12 converged and produced negligible differences in the solution. Lowering the value should make models with Peierls creep more stable and faster when using the default value.This PR updates the documentation of this parameter and changes the default value to mirror the changes in diffusion/dislocation merged in #5338.
