Redefine grad operator (not transpose)

Registered by Anders Logg

The current definition of grad of a vector returns du_j / du_i. This does not seem to be the standard definition in most literature I seen. It also means that grad is not a derivative since u(x + dx) \approx u(x) + grad(u) dx fails.

I suggest we change the definition to be grad(u) = du_i / du_j.
