[petsc-dev] CI error

[Satish Balay]

gcc-11 is giving a bunch of warnings - have to go through them and see if they are fixable..
[its not in CI]

This is why I like to have these fully resolved at the library level; yes it is more work for us; but less for the average user.

Best to figure out universally how to indicate when the variable is declared that it gets initialized suitably (for confused compilers that don't realize the initialized values are never used and so print warning messages).
