DoFTools::count_dofs_per_block clearly wrong/inefficient for the hp case

2

I'm rewriting `DoFTools::count_dofs_per_{component,block}` for a separate PR, and I'm finding that `DoFTools::count_dofs_per_block()` can't possibly be doing what we think it's doing in the hp case. Specifically, the code currently looks...

Further optimize the gravity postprocessor

2

#4456 reshuffles much of the code in the gravity postprocessor. Another relatively low-hanging fruit pertains to the fact that process 0 currently computes a good bit of reference values (the...

Introduce Utilities::Coordinates::convert_cartesian_to_other_coordinates

#1563 and #1628 add a lot of duplicated code where we (potentially) convert from the default Cartesian coordinate system to another system, and then pass that converted point to a...

C++11: Use range-based for loops

2

We have a lot of places of the form ``` typename DoFHandler::active_cell_iterator cell = mesh_deformation_dof_handler.begin_active(), endc= mesh_deformation_dof_handler.end(); for (; cell!=endc; ++cell) ... ``` But using C++11 features, we can more...

There are ~46 occurrences of `\note` in the latex sources, which in the conversion to sphinx were all converted as ``` ``` That is, not only is the markup wrong,...
