MOOSE Improvements

Fix for make distclean
Fixes for get_diagonal() and get_transpose() in EigenSparseMatrix, and implementations in LaspackMatrix
Improved test coverage for sparse matrix transposes and norms
DofObject and Elem invalid id constants are now constexpr, for improved CPU performance and GPGPU compatibility
VariationalMeshSmoother now supports prism elements; additionally, the verbosity and tolerances of the variational system solve are now user-controllable
Fix a potential preallocation error in parallel HDF5 sparse matrix reads
Fixes for poly2tri headers
Drop deprecated public Mesh::boundary_info member
Add tests for higher order quads in the variational smoother
Add tests for mixed elements in the variational smoother
Add fix for MeshTools::find_nodal_neighbors to work with higher order elements
Update BoundaryInfo to enable ID removal and renumbering one boundary at a time
Optimize Lagrange shape computations in 1D
