Rather than keeping a duplicate implementation of the bulk
Cosserat density.

Energies of particular models should not implement external loads
themselves, because that would lead to a lot of code duplication
(and possible inconsistencies).  A one step towards that goal,
allow to construct a CosseratEnergyLocalStiffness object
without external loads.

Previously, the NeumannEnergy class assumed that the grid dimension
was equal to the world dimension.  This is not the case for shells,
where the grid is 2d but the world is 3d.

The present patch generalizes to code to also allow for 2d grids.

Previously, the method basically hand-implemented a writer for
VTK files.  Using dune-vtk instead leads to much shorter and
simpler code, and gives us access to all the dune-vtk niceties,
like binary files and high-order grid cells.

Rather than the grid itself.  Because the grid view is all that
a writer needs to know about.

That way, a single Python file is enough to describe the entire
boundary value problem.

Rather than as our homegrown .parset.  That way, after more changes
this will allow to have the entire problem description in a single
file, including the boundary data.

Fix derivatives of nonconforming interpolation

Fix memory access errors when density does not depend on function value

Instead of with LocalGeodesicFEADOLCStiffness.

The latter should be faster.

If InterpolationDerivatives is told not to compute the derivatives
for the interpolation value, then it sometimes leaves the corresponding
matrix entries uninitialized.  That's okay: they shall not be used
anyway.

However, the code still did use them: It multiplied them by zero.
This is okay if the matrix entries are actual values, but they may
also be NaNs.  In that case, the NaNs propagate, leading to wrong
results.  Fix this by modifying the matrix products to really omit
the uninitialized values.

Let ADOL-C differentiate the energy density and the GFE interpolation separately

See merge request osander/dune-gfe!138

This is faster than using ADOL-C, and does not add much code.

This will allow derived densities to implement the derivatives by hand.
In some cases (e.g. the harmonic energy) these derivatives are so simple
that there is no need to accept the AD overhead for this.

Currently the user code that plugs together the assembler for a
particular problems has to know that ADOL-C is used internally
to compute certain derivatives.  In shows because certain objects
need to be instantiated with adouble as the number type.  One such
example is all objects derived from LocalDensity.

However, if this is to be avoided, then assemblers need to have
a way to turn a (e.g.) 'double' version of a density into an
'adouble' one.  This commit provides this way, by adding a
'makeActiveDensity' method.

Really more of a set of notes, currently.  In particular, it describes
how the element assembler works, which seems to complicated to me for
having only in-code documentation.

That construction method is simply enough that the derivatives
can be computed manually.  This avoids the overhead of using
an AD system.

The LocalIntegralStiffness assembles a tangent matrix by
suitably combining derivatives of the energy density with
derivatives of the geometric FE interpolation.  See the
detailed description in dune-gfe-manual.pdf.

This patch also includes a new test in localintegralstiffnesstest.cc.
It checks if the assembled matrix is the same as the one computed
by LocalGeodesicFEADOLCStiffness.

For a 3d Cosserat material I get a speedup of about 3x.

Fix some typos in parameterTree strings for both Riemannian-TR and Riemannian-PN & print final energy @Riemannian-pn solver

See merge request osander/dune-gfe!155

Remove whitespace in maxProximalNewtonSteps-string @Riemannianpnsolver (causes problem with get-method of parameterTree)

I am not too happy about this method, because for the scalar finite
element is an implementation detail.  But for the time being I need
this method for the upcoming LocalIntegralStiffness.

It is used by the upcoming LocalIntegralStiffness.

It is called 'geodesic interpolation' nowadays, no matter what domain.

Various minor fixes and improvements

See merge request osander/dune-gfe!154

Previously they were returned by value, but I do not remember any
actual reason for that.  Return by const reference leads to a
measurable speed increase when computing the derivatives of
projection-based FE onto the sphere.  It also fixed some
undefined behavior in that code, which took const-references
of the returned temporaries.

Returning the coefficients by const reference is more difficult
for product manifolds, because previously the interpolation rules
stored the coefficients separately for each factor space.
With this patch, these rules now store the coefficients twice:
once in the old separate format, and once as needed for returning
them by reference.  Interpolation rules are not meant to exist
in large numbers, and therefore I do not think that this
extra space consumption matters.
