SNESSetInitialFunctionNorm

 Sets the function norm to be used as the function norm at the initialization of the method. In some instances, the user has precomputed the function and its norm before calling SNESSolve. This function allows one to avoid a redundant call to SNESComputeFunction() and VecNorm() in that case.
