Missing package messages

 

I've been building Darwin on a remote HPC system without a number of
the optional packages. If the unavailable packages are not disabled on
the command line, the CMake output looks rather dramatic. It gives a
user the impression that something critical is missing when it's just
an optional dependency. This adds to a perception that DOLFIN has a
lot of dependencies, even though most are optional. I think we need to
tone the messages down.
