[petsc-dev] rename SNES methods ls, tr etc

[Jed Brown]

Fine with me, but it might be nice if the name could somehow convey that
this is just a defect-correction iteration and need not be Newton (e.g.,
it's Picard if a Picard linearization is used). OTOH, the name "Newton" is
much more recognizable...
