Use MPIHelper instead.

It is not used anymore.  On the other hand, I want to get rid of 
GeometryGrid in the CosseratVTKWriter.  Now with the new VTKFile
at hand there is a chance.

ParaView doesn't support P3 elements.  Therefore, the data is
downsampled onto a p2 space.

'Mixed' means that there are two different spaces used for the
deformation and the microrotations.

This implementation currently only does second order, and it
only writes the deformation, not the microrotations.

Otherwise, all processes will write into the same file --> not a good idea.

Currently only for quadrilaterals.  I'll implement triangles as soon
as I need them.

Unfortunately, VTK appears to only support 8-node quadrilaterals
(without an element dof).  So the element dofs get ignored currently.

With this patch we start to differentiate according the the function
space bases of the input data.  We write P1 data as is, and downsample
P2 and P3 data onto a P1 space.

This makes visualizing wrinkles much easier.

That way, they can at least be looked at.  You won't see the intra-element
details, but frequently they are not even all this important.  Proper
subsampling of higher-order functions is more difficult and has to wait
for another day.

This will be generalized to take any Lagrange basis, to allow some form
of visualization for higher-order functions.

Much nicer: I can have the surface and the director vector fields
all in one file.

now has to be given explicitly.
