[petsc-dev] meaning of VecScale() if not a collective

[Barry Smith]

  I have added #define PetscValidLogicalCollectiveScalar(a,b), PetscValidLogicalCollectiveReal(a,b), PetscValidLogicalCollectiveInt(a,b)

  More can be added and then they could be used where ever appropriate. Meant to do this for years but never got around to it.
