Yikes; we haven't uploaded the latest Doxygen output since February!?

I'll fix that shortly; thanks!

Both of those are "correct" in the sense that they're supported by the
current default libMesh configuration, but the dim-only constructor is
deprecated.  Supplying a communicator is recommended for making your
code more "future-proof", and supplying a dimension is now only
necessary if you need to read from one of a couple file formats where
we can't easily infer the dimension from the file.  You can also
supply both at the same time:

Mesh (const Parallel::Communicator &comm_in, unsigned int dim=1)
