Bug#989323: petsc: add support for ML (libtrilinos-ml-dev)

Dear Maintainer,

Would it be possible to add support for ML, the preconditioner from Trilinos?
I am developing a software that uses PETSc with ML and it would be very
convenient to use the Debian package instead of installing PETSc from
source.

As far as I see, the following modifications would be sufficient:
1) Add 'libtrilinos-ml-dev' to 'Build-Depends' in 'control'
2) Add '--with-ml' to 'CONFIGURATON_OPTIONS' in 'rules'

Note that a similar quesion is raised in #847045 (libtrilinos-zoltan-dev).
