Title:
  Projection of x is not accurate

Status in DOLFIN:
  New

Bug description:
  I've tested that projecting x works without the scaling bug that was
  just fixed, using dimensions 1,2,3 and both DG and CG from 0 to 3
  degrees. I print the max and min values of the vector of the
  projection function, and the values are _close_ to 0 and 1 but not to
  machine precision. The script is below.

  There's up to 2.7% error in the 3D case. Is the projection form
  integrated accurately enough? All but the DG0 function space should be
  capable of representing x exactly. Not sure if this is a dolfin or ffc
  bug.
