I don't have a strong opinion. The reason for choosing a short name
would be to have fewer characters in the library name: -ldolfin-nls
but probably -ldolfin-nlsolver is fine.

It doesn't matter much if the names are a bit cryptic since a user
normally does not see the names of the libraries (just use whatever
dolfin-config spits out).
