[Development] Can we reduce the number of XDMF Files for meshes from three to two?

It might be possible to only write two XDMF mesh files when converting and importing from Gmsh - one with the mesh and subdomain tags and one with boundary mesh and tags. This would make the usual mesh.xdmf file redundant and this could be replaced by the mesh_subdomains.xdmf. This should be tested, as this would save quite some disk space.
The changes are not breaking the API: One would have to check, whether a _subdomains file is present and use the old method then, otherwise use only the two meshes.

At the moment, I would not suggest doing so as this may break other features.
