Fixed.

Actually my plan is to remove DMSetVecType() and change DMGetGlobalVector(), DMGGetLocalVector() and DMGetMatrix() to take an already created Vec or Mat and if the type is set  inside that object then to use that type otherwise to use a default type. This will match the new style of VecLoad() and MatLoad().

The rational for this change is I want to remove all the MatCreate()s and VecCreates() and setting of types inside other parts of PETSc. This allows new Vec and Mat types to be introduced without also adding into DMGetMatrxi() etc new code whenever a new type is introduced.
