Jukka Aho 4603b9ff47 feat(examples): Add working academic matrix extraction example (Issue #183)
Created new example demonstrating the three requirements from Issue #183:
- a) Discretize space (mesh generation shown)
- b) Assemble stiffness matrix (API demonstrated)
- c) Extract matrices for external solvers (working code)

New files:
- examples/academic_matrix_extraction/academic_example.jl (211 lines)
- examples/academic_matrix_extraction/README.md (123 lines)

This is a WORKING example using Dirichlet BC to demonstrate the matrix
extraction workflow. Shows integration with DifferentialEquations.jl,
LinearSolve.jl, Krylov.jl, and custom solvers.

Also updated gmsh_heat_equation.jl to be honest about demonstration status:
- Added clear NOTE that Heat problem is pending Phase 2
- Explains workflow structure vs actual functionality
- References architecture refactoring progress
