I added DirichletBoundary to adaptivity_ex2, but I found I couldn't get
correct Fe at time 1 (i.e, system.time = 0+dt). I am not sure it is a limit
of libmesh, or my understanding is wrong.
adaptivity_ex2 is a transient problem. "the initial condition will be taken
as the exact solution at time 0, as will the Dirichlet boundary conditions
at time t."  The outline of the code is:

   1. system.time = 0;
   2. Create a DirichletBoundary object and add it to equation_system;
   3. equation_systems.init (); // Init solution and Dirichlet constrains
   at time 0
   4.
   5. for each time step {
   6.   system.time += dt;
   7.   *system.old_local_solution = *system.current_local_solution;
   8.   for each refinement step {
   9.     Ke += ...
   10.     Fe += ...system.old_solution()... // Need solution computed at
   time 0
   11.     heterogenously_constrain_element_matrix_and_vector; // Uses
   constraints computed at time 0, but should use constraints computed at time
   1
   12.     Add Ke, Fe to global matrix and vector;
   13.     Solve the system;
   14.     equation_systems.reinit ();
   15.   }
   16. }

Suppose the code runs straight from line 1 to line 11, at line 11, what we
use are wrong constraints computed at time 0. Actually, we should use
constraints
of time 1, which are not computed yet.
I tried to rearrange the code, but I found I could not make it, since I
could not use solution of time 0 and constraints of time 1 at line 10 and
11 at the same time.

Any thoughts?
