The PGI compiler (of course) complained about a missing module
(elpa_generated_fortran_interfaces.mod) when compiling the test
programs.

It is true (in a way) that some part of this module is indeed necessary,
as the public-facing function signatures have arguments that are
referring to those three functions in their type:

  elpa_strerr_c(elpa_error)
  elpa_int_value_to_string_c(name, value, string)
  elpa_int_value_to_strlen_c(name, value)

Thus, for these three we create another header prefix,

  !pf>

for Fortran definitions that should be public. Those are included in
elpa_api.F90.

The public "solve" method has been renamed "eigenvectors" since it
computes the eigenvalues and (at least parts of) the eigenvectors

Another routine "eigenvalues" will just compute the eigenvalues

This is a bit cumbersome, as it involves yet another abstract
intermediate type, but necessary due to language limitations.

By mistake a procedure has been named
"invert_tridiagonal" but the correct name should be
"invert_triangular"

The legacy API is has been (internally) ported to use the new interface.
The intent is that users of the legacy API do not have to change their
codes.

Next step is to completely adapt the .gitlab-ci.yml file

Still missing is the compatibility layer, currently it only compiles
when configure is called with

  --disable-legacy

Also, a more general solution to parameter passing via environment
variables would be nice.
