TimeSeriesHDF5 should be used in auto-adaptive solver

[Prof Garth Wells]

The auto-adaptive demos report an error in parallel ("Storing of data to time series is not yet working in parallel.").

Time series data is now supported in parallel (via HDF5) and mesh parallel mesh refinement is also supported, so these demos should work in parallel.

[Chris Richardson]

I tried switching in TimeSeriesHDF5, which didn't throw any errors, but now this happens in the auto-adaptive-navier-stokes python demo:

*** Error:   Unable to perform operation in parallel.
*** Reason:  Extrapolation of functions is not yet working in parallel.

[Anders Logg (Chalmers)]

TimeSeriesHDF5 now used but demos still throw error in parallel since extrapolation is not implemented in parallel. This is a separate issue that requires some thought.

[Prof Garth Wells]

Does this mean we can remove BinaryFile?

[Anders Logg (Chalmers)]

And then remove TimeSeries? Yes, that would work for me, but perhaps it should be asked on the mailing list. Others may depend on it (but could likely be convinced to switch to HDF5).

[Prof Garth Wells]

Even if TimeSeries works, it's not good to have duplicate functionality. Let's at least deprecate BinaryFile and TimeSeries. If there are no objections on the mailing list we can just remove it rather than deprecate.

[Anders Logg (Chalmers)]

ok.

I reverted 1ba428b083dcb3de8e2c2e7033644aafc34d51b2 in next by bda57b950b86736bf90d7c5efaa774ae414700cc because it does not compile, see http://fenicsproject.org:8010/builders/dolfin-next-full-mpich/builds/1324/steps/compile/logs/stdio

[Anders Logg (Chalmers)]

Looks like missing #ifdef for when HDF5 is not installed.

[Anders Logg (Chalmers)]

Should be fixed now.
