A small missing '$' caused a lot of mischief. Augmented also the tests
to detect something like this in the future

Remove all references to private functions and symbols from the public
Fortran modules. Install also only the public modules

This allows to install several versions of the library in the same
directory

If compiled with MPI, the necessary "mpiexec -n 2" was not written
in the check scripts. This commit is based on a patch provided by
Michael Banck from debian.org

The optional build via "--enable-assumed-size-arrays" is also
tested in the CI

Using Fortran assumed size arrays makes debugging a lot harder,
thus as default these are not used in ELPA.
However, it might be, that some compilers make unwanted copies
if calling subroutines with array slices. Then switching back
to assumed size arrays might create a performance gain

Remove all references to private functions and symbols from the public
Fortran modules. Install also only the public modules

Now this is done consistently both in autoconf and automake. One can now
safely call make clean and the header files are re-generated
automatically.

In my humble opinion it is much more obvious to specify

  --with-mpi=no

instead of

  --enable-shared-memory-only

to configure without MPI

This should make it easier to compile ELPA for Debian/Ubuntu, now it
should be sufficient to just

  ./configure

without a need to set LIBS or SCALAPACK_LDFLAGS

In case of SSE/AVX/AVX2 it could happen that more than one kernel
(since some depend on other kernels, e.g. block 6 on block 4 and
block 2) were called

setting default kernels

This fixes issue #16: due to a mess in setting the default kernels,
several kernels were called at the same time, which produces wrong
results

It turned out that if a CPU supports SSE the already existing
test for SSE assembly instructions always passes.
However, the compilation of gcc SSE intrinic instructions might
nevertheless fail if gcc is not called with one of the options
"-msse3", "-msse4" , "-msse4.1", "-msse4.2", "-mavx", or "-mavx2"!

Obviously gcc does still not consider SSE as a standard on X86_64
Intel CPUs.

An additional configure test has been introduced, which test for
gcc intrinsic sse instructions. If this test fails, the corresponding
kernels are switched off.

The C++ kernels can be written as C kernels, which simplifies the build
procedure

In order to increase type safty all ELPA2 kernels provide now
an interface. The interfaces for the C/C++ kernels are automatically
generated during the configure step

The SSE kernels with blocking of 2,4,6 (real case) and 1,2 (complex)
case are now available by default

Thus the following changes have been done
- introduce new macros in configure.ac and Makefile.am
- renmae the AVX kernels in AVX_AVX2 (they also support AVX2)
- introduce new files with SSE kernel
- introduce new kernel parameters !
- make the SSE kernels callable

The results are identical with previous kernels

- The SSE part will be available in different files.
- Specify whether AVX or AVX2 was used to build

The single precision version of the SSE assembly kernel is about 1.8
times faster than the double precision version

library

It the configure option "--enable-single-precision" is specified,
ELPA will also be build for single precision usage. The double precision
and single precision will be available at the same time with names
"solve_evp_real_1stage_double" or "solve_evp_real_1stage_single" and
so on...

This change immplied some major refactoring of the ELPA code:
1.) functions/procedures had to be renamed with suffix "_double"

2.) If necessary the same functions have to be available with suffix
"_single"

3.) Variable kind definitions have to be consistent with the
intented use

To avoid uneccessary code duplication this is done (most of the time)
with preprocessor string substitution.

The documentation has been updated.

NOT SUPPORTED are at the moment:

- single precision usage of ELPA2 with kernels, others than "generic"
  and "generic_simple"

- single precision usage of GPU

The configure flag "--enable-shared-memory-only" triggers a build
of ELPA without MPI support:

- all MPI calls are skipped (or overloaded)
- all calls to scalapack functions are replaced by the corresponding
  lapack calls
- all calls to blacs are skipped

Using ELPA without MPI gives the same results as using ELPA with 1 MPI
task!

This version is not yet optimized for performance, here and there some
unecessary copies are done.

Ths version is intended for users, who do not have MPI in their
application but still would like to use ELPA on one compute node

With the configure option "--enable-single-precision" ELPA1 is build
with single-precision (half-words) only.

The best precision in single-precision (float or complex) is
2^-23 ~ 1.2e-7. The accuracy of the error residual of ELPA1 in
single-precision mode is of the order 1e-4 to 1e-5. The orthogonality of
the EV's is fullfilled up to about ~1e-6.

Thus the precision of ELPA1 in single-precision mode is roughly 100 -
1000 times less than the best achievable precison. This is consistent
with the double-precision mode, where also a factor of 100 - 1000 less
precision than the theoretical best one is found.

The float EVs are identical to the double EVs to at least 1e-2, the
precision of the EVs is thus about 1e-7/1e-2 = 1e5 times lower than the
best theoretical precision. If the same holds for the double precision
calculations, this implies that the double precision results can also
be only trusted on the level 1e-11 (5 orders of magnitude larger
than the best theoretical precision)

The best speed-up compared to the double precision calculation is
a factor of two. This is by far not achieved yet, since the singl
precision version is not at all optimized at the moment

The generic real kernel is now contained in a module, this allows
strict interface checking! It also does not use assumed size arrays
anymore. Both points increase the possibility to debug and find errors.

However, this might be performance critical! It is possible to
switch back to the old implementation if that turns out to
be beneficial w.r.t. performance. Timings with gfortran 4.9 on Intel
Haswell showed that the new implementation is about 30 percent faster
then the previous one

This commit does not change the interfaces defined in ELPA_2015.11.001 !
All functionality is available via the interface names and definitions
as in ELPA_2015.11.001

But some new interfaces have been added, in order to unfiy the
references from C and Fortran codes:

- The procedures to create the ELPA (row/column) communicators are now
  available from C _and_ Fortran with the name "get_elpa_communicators".
  The old Fortran name "get_elpa_row_col_comms" and the old C name
  "elpa_get_communicators" are from now on deprecated but still available

- The 1-stage solver routines are available from C _and_ Fortran via
  the names "solve_evp_real_1stage" and "solve_evp_complex_1stage".
  The old Fortran names "solve_evp_real" and "solve_evp_complex" are
  from now on deprecated but still functional.

All documentation (man pages, doxygen, and example test programs) have
been changed accordingly.

This commit implies a change in the API versioning number, but no
changes to codes calling ELPA (if they have been already updated to the
API of ELPA_2015.11.001)

- the contact email is now: elpa-library@mpcdf.mpg.de
- the official website is now hosted at http://elpa.mpcdf.mpg.de

The user functions of ELPA are now documented with doxygen tags.
At the moment the interface of ELPA 2015.11.001 is decribed.

The documentation has step by step to be implemented for all functions
and test programms.

This variables, do not have to be global, they can be parsed along
internally in ELPA. Removing them makes debugging more easy and
the public interface more lean

The API versioning number was not updated correctly at the release.
This lead to a wrong soname.

This is fixed now

Due to the efforts of Intel, ELPA features now build-in
support of AVX2 and FMA for the latest Intel processors
