Title: Add unit test to help with Jens DofObject issue

Partially just to test the pull request process & workflow, but also useful.

I have added a
-D__LIBMESH_IS_UNIT_TESTING__

preprocessor macro that is defined when compiling the unit tests. This allows us to enable certain class constructors or utility get/set methods that we probably otherwise would not want public - see for example the dof_object.h patch contained in this request.

I created a unit test to set exacty the buffer he is reporting, and as I suspected the new VariableGroups patch is working as expected.

Hmm....

Problem must lie elsewhere.
