This is especially useful when the H^1-conforming scalar space is extracted from the mapping, and its dtype (which should be called codomain_type) is changed from float to complex in order to accommodate complex-valued fields.
TO DO:
[ ] Add abstract method copy(self, dtype=None), which changes the dtype if required, to base class FemSpace.
[ ] Implement method in concrete classes SplineSpace, TensorFemSpace, VectorFemSpace, and ProductFemSpace.
[ ] Remove function change_dtype from psydac.api.discretization, as this was used to replace the vector space of coefficients in place (very dangerous).
