API change, bug fix and new test file along with output.
Fixing a nasty bug in DMMoabSetGlobalFieldVector when using MoabVec.
Slight modification of the DMMoabSetFieldNames interface.
Bug was found using the new test file ex2.c which does the following:
- Creates a mesh in memory or optionally from a user specified input file
- Propagates tags with variable names as specified by user or assumes a single variable by default
- The variables defined on the mesh are populated with random data
- User can optionally write out the resulting mesh database for visualization/analysis.
- Test output added for future reference.

Making sure that the interface is const correct when dealing with MOAB objects on the getter methods.

Adding an extra argument to box mesh creation in order to specify the domain bounds. Modifying examples accordingly.

Adding a public API method DMMoabGetOffset to get the local offset when dealing with global spaces for Vec/Mat.

Adding a new API function to set a field name. This is more of a utility function that follows the DMDA design.

Adding a variable to store ghosted elements. Change the public API to retrieve local and ghosted vertices/element sizes.

A very important fix for the ghosted vector updates.
The parallel bugs in incorrect residual evaluations in ex2.cxx were two-fold.

1) The ghost updates were incorrect.
2) The VecScatter context was wrongly formed. Perhaps a VecCopy might suffice for local Global-Local transfers. Optimize later.
3) The BC evaluation had a bug due to the way we were accessing the bit vector with EntityHandle static casts. This could be
a problem in evaluating field DOF data also. Currently not an issue but need to check if this can be optimized.
4) ex2.cxx runs correctly in serial and parallel. Preliminary profiling against ts/examples/tutorials/ex25.cxx shows that the FEM version against FD version is about 2-3 times slower in TSFunctionEval. This needs to be profiled further and corrected.
5) Now support both native PETSc and native MOAB-tag based Vec depending on whether mesh entities or contiguous.

Parallel bugs fixed. Optimizations upcoming to improve speedup.

Adding the first draft capability to allow both MOAB and native Vec with DMMoab. Also setting the necessary Mapping data so that SetLocal and SetBlockedLocal can be used.

Initial modifications to allow vertex based traversals and miscellaneous bug-fixes.

1) Adding API functions for getting vertex-connectivity for FD type calculations and DOF-maps etc.
2) Fix bugs in memory allocations in most of the Field/Block/Local DOF calculation routines.
3) Add PetscBool arrays to store whether the entities are on the boundary. This makes the query for boundary vertices and elements a simple look-up during FEM/FD assembly.
4) Introducing DMMoabGetAllVertices to access both local+ghost vertices. This might not be entirely necessary for FD and can remove it in the future.

a3b7357: Add interface functions to get the global, local and ghosted vertex distributions of the DM.
7478aaf:
1) DMMoabSetGlobalFieldVector - Use when the number of fields > 1 and want to assign a single global solution vector to be split in terms of tag arrays.
2) DMMoabGetDofs - Local/Blocked variants to get the individual field-independent vertex GID numbering. This is useful for traversals based on nodes directly. Used in FD-type computations.
3) Some minor bug fixes.

Adding an extra API functionality to use the local DOF to assemble vectors and matrices.

- This should generally be faster than using VecSetValues. Use DMMoabGetLocalFieldDofs for these operations.
