Use Symbols for Petsc String Literals #2

Petsc uses string literals to set lots of options, like vector and matrix formats. It would be better (faster) to use julia symbols to represent these.

The difficulty is that symbols cannot be passed back and forth between Julia and C, they have to be converted to strings first.

The auto generated wrappers now convert the appropriate constants to symbols, but putting the conversion to and from strings is not done yet.

This works now. I can't find exactly which commit, so I'm closing.
