It is planned to add another matrix type for the tests.
The names of the prepare routines have become a bit inconsistent and
confusing. Thus the rename

Anything if it makes Andreas happy :)

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.

Previously we checked ortonormality of eigenvectors by comparing
the matrix S^T * S to identity matrix. The new feature is also
checking just the diagonal of the matrix S^T * S. By that we get
the information, how far are the eigenvectors from having length 1.
If it turns out to be important, we could try to normalize them
at the end of elpa, which is simple (in contrast with enforcing
better orthogonality).

- 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.

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.

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

Some of the file names were too long, automake then dropped these
files when doing "make distcheck"

This solves issue #14

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

files

The test programs include the same template now, the
printed messages are thus unified

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

ELPA2 can now be build (as ELPA1) for single precision calculations.
The ELPA2 kernles which are implemented in assembler, C, or C++ have NOT
yet been ported.

Thus at the moment only the GENERIC and GENERIC_SIMPLE kernels support
single precision calculations

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".

This commit is not ABI compatible, since it changes the interfaces
of some routines

Also, introduce type checking for transpose and reduce_add routines
