  \brief Computes the condition number of given element.

  The metric does not use the sample point functionality or the
  compute_weighted_jacobian.  It evaluates the metric at
  the element vertices, and uses the isotropic ideal element.
  It does require a feasible region, and the metric needs
  to be minimized.
