Most of these are in matimpl.h and vecimpl.h. They should perhaps be called
_Internal since they are shared inside PETSc, but not public. We should
also change them from PETSC_EXTERN so that we can set visibility=hidden to
prevent users from calling them through shared libraries. ;-)

I don't have a problem with non-namespaced functions at file local scope,
they just have to be renamed if they are ever referenced from elsewhere.
