A first version of implementing a concrete vector type within the function space framework.
We have a LocalndexableVector type, which provides a basic implementation of a vector (still a lot of methods to be added).
The function space is a LocalndexableSpace. This can create vectors of type LocalIndexableSpaceElement. These are simply wrappers around LocalIndexableVector that additionally contain a back reference to the underlying space and ensure that their lifetime cannot outlive the lifetime of the function space.
Calling view on a LocalIndexableSpaceElement returns a reference to a LocalIndexableVector from which all the usual operations are then accessible.
Under sparse-core/examples there is a vector.rs example file, which demonstrates that for the user all of this is completely opaque. They create a function space and from that can create vectors and operate on them.
Before merging need
Some cleaning up
Implement the corresponding structures for MPI.
Potentially more discussion on the layout/structure.
