OpenBLAS performs better than LAPACK, the reference implementation.
This is also consistent with the choice of BLAS/LAPACK implementations
made in most other packages.
* gnu/packages/maths.scm (petsc)[inputs]: Replace LAPACK by OPENBLAS.
[arguments]: Pass "--with-openmp=1".

Hi!
Usually there’s no reason to depend on the reference (“Netlib”) BLAS/LAPACK
implementations because they perform poorly. This change is one way to
bring consistency here.
Thoughts?
