Geometric information about cells and faces -- previously provided by
the \texttt{GeometryInfo} class for hypercube-type cells -- is now
-available via the \texttt{ReferenceCell} class that can be
-instantiated for each of the seven possible reference cell. The
-correct reference cell object for a cell or face can be obtained, respectively, using
-\texttt{cell->reference\_cell()}, and either the call
-\texttt{cell->reference\_cell().face\_reference\_cell(f)}

Furthermore, many functions in \dealii{} used mappings that, when not
given explicitly, defaulted to (bi-/tri-)linear ones. These no longer
