Summary - Mapper classes expect redundant interface of layout class

Severity - Low

Details - The various mapper classes in dune-grid/grid/common expect a
layout class that tells which entities of a grid carry degrees of
freedom.  These layout classes are supposed to have a method
operator()(int codim, GeometryType type).  The first argument is
superfluous, because the layout class gets the grid dimension as a
template parameter and GeometryType objects know their dimension.  The
redundancy is a leftover from the introduction of the GeometryType,
and should be removed, because it is confusing.

The problem is that I do not see a way to remove the first argument
without inducing compile failures in application code.  These failures
will not be serious, though.  In a few days I will change the mappers
such that they will expect their layout classes to have
operator()(GeometryType type).  Any Dune application that defines its
own layout classes will then fail to compile.  To fix these failures
please remove the first argument of operator() of each layout class
you define, and replace all occurrences of codim with dim-type.dim().

Of course if someone comes up with a smoother way to make this
transition I will be more than happy to comply.
