description:
Change constructor for FunctionSpace to only accept (mesh, family, degree).
Add new classes VectorSpace and MixedSpace.

Should these be named VectorFunctionSpace and MixedFunctionSpace?
It would be inconsistent with VectorElement and MixedElement.

description:
Extend FunctionSpace constructor to handle simple initialization like

  V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "Lagrange", 1)

No need anymore to create elements in PyDOLFIN, except when mixed elements
are used.

It would be good to support some simple creation of vector-valued function
spaces. How should this look? One option could be

  V = VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "Lagrange", 1)

?
