Restart/load for parallel::shared::Triangulation<dim>

[Florian Schulze]

Dear all,

I'm currently trying to implement a restart functionality for my code,
and run into some problem with the restart for the
`parallel::shared::Triangulation<dim>`.
The code is MPI parallelized and multidimensional (1,2,3 and at some
point maybe even 4D), so I use the
`parallel::shared::Triangulation<dim>` for 1D, and
`parallel::distributed::Triangulation<dim>` for 2D/3D.
To implement the restart, I follow the tutorials step-83 and step-69
(which are very well written and very helpful BTW - thanks a lot to
whoever wrote them!).
For the `parallel::distributed::Triangulation<dim>` I got it to work - I
first create a (coarse) mesh and then load the checkpoint.
But for the `parallel::shared::Triangulation<dim>` I run into the
following error (full stacktrace see below):

```
An error occurred in line <14142> of file <dealii/source/grid/tria.cc>
in function
    void dealii::Triangulation<dim, spacedim>::load(const std::string&)
[with int dim = 2; int spacedim = 2; std::string =
std::__cxx11::basic_string<char>]
The violated condition was:
    this->n_global_active_cells() == n_global_active_cells
Additional information:
    The number of cells of the triangulation differs from the number of
    cells written into the .info file.
```

I don't really understand this error - some help would be much appreciated!
I use the same logic as for the distributed triangulation: I first
create the mesh (in this example it is static) and then read the checkpoint.

Best,
Florian
