[petsc-users] PetscSFReduceBegin can not handle MPI_CHAR?

[Zhang, Junchao]

I updated the branch and made a PR. I tried to do MPI_SUM on MPI_CHAR. We do not have UnpackAdd on this type (we are right). But unfortunately, MPICH's MPI_Reduce_local did not report errors (it should) so we did not generate an error either.

This should work due to the non-overtaking property defined by MPI.
