[petsc-dev] printing the matrix name via -mat_view_info

[Jed Brown]

PetscObjectName for Matlab names is not ideal, how should the Matlab user
find out what the name of the loaded vector is? It won't be the same on
consecutive identical runs. Or should it practically become mandatory to
name objects that will go to Matlab?

 I have added PetscObjectPrintClassNamePrefixType() which is now (in theory)
used uniformly in all the XXXView ASCII info formats to display this
information appropriately. A nice improvement, eliminated lots of duplicate
code and makes it easier to have uniform output.

 PetscObjects are NOT given names by default, you should call
PetscObjectSetName() to give it a name.  In a small number of places when an
object NEEDS a name, for example when it is saved to Matlab with that
variable name then PetscObjectName() is called to generate a "unique" name.

  Thanks for the suggestion,
