SuperLU 7.0.0 now uses singlecomplex instead of complex and by default
does not add a typedef to make singlecomplex available as type
complex. The latter was used in previous versions.

As we need to support several versions of SuperLU we force adding such
a typedef by defining SUPERLU_TYPEDEF_COMPLEX

Replace pthread_exit(NULL) calls by return NULL

getMatOrThrow handed out a reference to the underlying matrix, but for
the compiler it was undecidable, whether this might be a dangling
refernce. This lead to many warnings. We now hand out the
AssebledLinearOperator and call getmat explicitly where ever needed.

In the rewrite the vector types of UMPack were checked, similar to the
other direct solvers. This does not work anymore, as recent changes in
UMFPack now lead to a compiler error if the vectors are not available,
i.e. when using a real-type different from double. This change now
(re-)introduces a SFINAE check to ensure that the types are compatible.
