Fix a bug in the parallelepiped mesh generator.

This function generated cells with negative volume due to an orientation
issue. In particular, the function used to generate cells (see
tests/grid/grid_parallelepiped.output) with vertices (given here in
lexical order)

0 0
0 0.5
0.5 0.5
0.5 0

which results in a twisted cell, instead of

0 0
0.5 0
0.5 0.5
0 0.5

which is correct.
