Return the value a label assigns to a point, or the label’s default value (which is initially -1, and can be changed with `DMLabelSetDefaultValue()`)

## Synopsis

    #include "petscsection.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMLabelGetValue(DMLabel label, PetscInt point, PetscInt *value)

Not Collective

## Input Parameters

- label - the `DMLabel`

- point - the point

## Output Parameter

- value - The point value, or the default value (-1 by default)
