and barycentric coordinates.  This is easy because we know the
number of element corners at compile time (I currently don't
see support for non-simplex elements at all).  This saves 
time, but not much: about 1%.

remove projection onto tangent space.  Is the variations are all tangent to the manifold you don't actually need it

Be smarter about when to compute what.  This speeds up assembly of the Hessian for harmonic maps from R^3 to S^2 by a factor of 3

Remove class specializations.  The old implementation for the UnitVector class will handle all cases

Remove a few specializations.  From now on we will assume that all target spaces can be parametrized by some sort of global embedding.  I don't see a case coming where that is not general enough

Compute the local corrections in local coordinates on the tangent bundle now, instead of using the embedding in the surrounding space

For this now the TangentVector class of S^n has only n components,
while the EmbeddedTangentVector class still has n+1.
The code around it needs to be fixed accordingly.
