description:
Allow PETSc matrix type to be set through the Matrix constructor.

The type of PETSc matrix determines which LU solver is used when doing a direct solve. Currently implemented  matrix types are:
  Matrix::default_solver (PETSc MATSEQAIJS)
  Matrix::spooles        (PETSC MATSEQAIJSPOOLES)
  Matrix::superlu        (PETSc MATSUPERLU)
  Matrix::umfpack        (PETSC MATUMFPACK) 

By default, PDE.solve() will use Matrix::umfpack if Umfpack has been compiled with PETSc, otherwise it will use the default PETSc LU solver.


Benchmark (for the linear solve only) for the problem in src/demo/pde/elasticity
  
  default_solver: 48.4s
  spooles:        3.45s
  superlu:        5.77s
  umfpack:        1.68s

description:
Temporary fix to avoid PETSc error when using Hypre preconditioner.

The function KrylovSolver::init() is not called when a KrylovSolver is created with the Hypre preconditioner. If a user creates a KrylovSolver with the Hypre preconditioner and then attempts to access the pointer to the PETSc solver before the solver has been used to solve a system, an error will result.
