Description

I think it can become handy for some users to provide utilities for gathering distributed data structures like the grid and dof handlers on a single process (e.g. to simplify visualization or post-processing).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Familiarize yourself with the existing distributed grid and DOF handler structures in FerriteDistributed.jl. Study how data is partitioned across processes. Look for any existing gather like functionality or patterns in the codebase. Consider implementing a gather function that collects distributed data onto a single process, using MPI communication or Julia's Distributed module. Test with a simple example and ensure correctness.
