Fix DMInterpolation bug and numpy.ma compatibility issues

Core fixes:
- Fix off-by-one bug in petsc_tools.c PetscSFSetGraph call
  (nroots must be > max(iremote.index), so use range + 1)
- Add public .mask property and .filled() method to NDArray_With_Callback
  for matplotlib/numpy.ma compatibility
- Fix double scaling bug in coordinate evaluation by updating global
  COEFFICIENTS when model.set_reference_quantities() is called

Test fixes:
- Fix shape mismatch in test_1000_poissonNaturalBC.py (add .squeeze())
- Fix missing radiusInner/radiusOuter attributes in test_1001_poissonSph.py
- Fix test_1100_AdvDiffCartesian.py collection error (NameError: T)
- Update various unit tests for proper array shape handling

All 42 Level 3 (solver) tests now pass.
