I know it's consistent with respect to reference counting semantics, but
it might be harder for new users to find when searching the docs.  I
have no data either way.  I recall discussing years ago that having
paired MatGetSubMatrix/MatRestoreSubMatrix would simplify bookkeeping in
PCFieldSplit and some common user code.

If the name is changed, it's easy to support the deprecated name from C.
