Use 64-bit integers when building PETSc

Issue #1700 closed
Erik Schnetter created an issue

PETSc needs to be able to count up to the total (global) number of points it uses, not just process-local points. 32-bit integers are not sufficient for large runs. Note that e.g. Carpet already uses 64-bits integers for the same reason.

I suggest to enable the respective option when building PETSc by default. TATPETSc supports this, other thorns may need to be updated.
