Add automatic generated fortran support for setting and returning contexts

Major cleanup of the code for setting and returning application (previously called user) contexts
- PetscCtx ctx is now the standard for passing in contexts
- PetscCtxRt ctx is the standard for passing out contexts, including context destroy routines based on PetscCtxDestroyFn
