Blocked quadrature elements #896

Description

@garth-wells

basix.ufl has functions for creating 'quadrature elements' and 'blocked elements'.

  • Blocked elements are typically 'stacked' Lagrange elements, e.g. to build a vector Lagrange element with three components. The shape is set by passing a shape argument to basix.ufl.blocked_element.
  • Quadrature elements are pseudo elements that support Functions that can be evaluated only at specific points. The shape is set by passing a shape argument to basix.ufl.quadrature_element.

A quirk is that blocked elements with a non-trivial shape have sub-elements, which allows components to be extracted, but 'blocked' quadrature elements don't. Could this be made consistent?
