If you use DMPlexDistribute() a second time to redistribute the mesh, 
presumably it will first delete all the partition ghost cells created 
from the initial distribution (and create new ones after redistribution).

If I have also used DMPlexConstructGhostCells() to create boundary 
condition ghost cells on the distributed mesh, what happens to them when 
I redistribute? Do they get copied over to the redistributed mesh? or is 
it better not to add them until the mesh has been redistributed?
