Notes
Only certain SNES methods support certain SNESNormTypes. Most require evaluation
of the nonlinear function and the taking of its norm at every iteration to
even ensure convergence at all. However, methods such as custom Gauss-Seidel methods
(SNESGS) and the like do not require the norm of the function to be computed, and therfore
may either be monitored for convergence or not. As these are often used as nonlinear
preconditioners, monitoring the norm of their error is not a useful enterprise within
their solution.
