The thing is, PETSc does not currently have a way of mapping a plain C
`int` type to a PETSc datatype. I'm wiling to take the required work
to fix this issue.

@Barry or anyone: the only issue for me is to decide on the name, I'll
call it PETSC_C_INT (and maybe also add PETSC_C_LONG along the way).
If you don't like and have a better naming convention to suggest,
please let me know.
