Make PETSc and petsc4py required dependencies about dolfinx HOT 6 CLOSED

Fixed in #118

Actually, I think this was slightly wrong. petsc4py should not be a required dependency of the C++ build, only the Python build.

Looking at master, that is how it is.

The C++ build system should be fixed so it does not depend on petsc4py. All the necessary info is available via the PETSc headers.

We should get generate-form-files.py to take command lines arguments that are passed through to ffc.
