We got reports from a user that there were troubles with certain domain
decompositions. So far the tests only looked at (approximately) square
decompositions in column-major process order.

Now, a new class of tests loops over all possible decompositions
(row * col) for a given number of total tasks.

So far, we can not confirm that there are any problems, all
possibilities work as expected.

- Remove all use of ELPA internal modules, the test programs now
  only use the public ELPA API. This is now enforced, by hiding the
  private modules

- Prefix all test internal modules with "test_" to make it really
  clear that these modules are not to be used by users.

They are in a sad state, it's all copy&paste and chaos. This commit
only touches the surface so far.

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

The Fortran variable declerations "variable type*[4,8,16]" is non
Fortran standard. It might cause problem in the future.
Furthermore, the usage of Fortran and C togehther is more clean
if variables are defined according to C variable types.

This is done, now for all the test programs

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 Rechenzentrum Garching (RZG) has been renamed into
the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF).

This is reflected now in the adapted headers.

In the near future, all references to the ELPA webside and
the ELPA email will also be adapted.

The examples, how to invoke ELPA from a c program have been updated.
There are now examples for ELPA1 and ELPA2 both real and complex case.
The test cases are still with less functionality than their Fortran
counter parts, they are just ment as a "proof-of-concept".

C interfaces are now available and definied in the header
elpa.h
