Remove forbidden downcast

This removes several constructors and assignments from base class in the class hierarchy around `base_array`. These removed methods are all implemented using a downcast which may result in undefined behaviour.
Since they are not used anywhere in the core modules we can maybe remove them. According to @markus.blatt  these base classes are all meant to be internal.

This may cause problems if user code explicitly uses the raw base classes and these methods. However, such user code would only be valid if the passed base class reference is actually an upcasted derived class which is very unlikely.

The implementation for this was hidden in the base classes
before and relied on undefined behaviour by using a downcast.
Now it is explicitly implemented for the derived classes
which also makes it more visible to users.

These constructors and assignments from base class are
all using a downcast which may result in undefined behaviour.
Since this is potentially dangerous and not used anywhere
in the core modules, this patch removes those methods.

These constructors and assignments are all implemented using
a downcast to derived class and may lead to undefined behaviour.
This commit removes the checks for these methods in preparation
for their removal.

Use `std::tuple` instead of `Dune::tuple`

Fix implicit buildmode documentation and adjust test accordingly

This basically turns the issue #21 into a feature by correctly describing the constraints of the implicit build mode and the meaning of its parameters. This invalidates the test against the old interface description which is hence dropped by this MR. As a consequence the bcrsimplicitbuild-test passes again.

Update test environments

- No longer test with clang 3.5.
- Add clang 3.8 from Debian 8 + backports
- Add gcc 5.4 + clang 3.8 from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
- Use `duneci-standard-test`

The doc now correctly describes
* that the overflow area is used during compress and not during assembly
* the meaning of avg and overflowsize
* the numbering dependence of this build mode
* the magic number 4
* the late failure during compress()

This fixes the clang compiler warnings about tautological compare
when idxtype is unsigned. For clang behaviour see [1].

This reverts ddf49c23 and removes the check if
the average parameter behaves as expected.

Add (static) size() method to MultiTypeBlockMatrix

Since the istl view is, that a matrix is a container of rows,
it should have a size method.

See merge request !58

Since the istl view is, that a matrix is a container of rows,
it should have a size method.

This is in fact an _unsafe_ downcast to a derived
class. Accessing members via this pointer is undefined
if it is not guaranteed that the passed pointer
points to an object of the _derived_ class - even
if the memory layout is the same. In this case
this static_cast acts like a reinterpret_cast.

If the correct average is provided, compress() may still
fail if more than the average numebr of entries are added
to an early row (e.g. the first one)

Fix broken Matrix::transpose()


Due to a confusion between the number of lines N and the number of columns M, `Matrix::transpose()` gave wrong results for matrices with N != M.

This also adds a testcase demonstrating the problem to matrixtest.cc.

See merge request !56

Due to a confusion between the number of lines N and the number of
columns M, Matrix::transpose() gave wrong results for matrices with
N != M.

Due to a bug in Matrix::transpose() it will give wrong results for
non-quadratic matrices. Thus the new test case fails for the moment.

[cleanup] Remove debug output

Stop finding old SuperLU versions.

Previously CMake pretended to have found a valid
SuperLU version for DUNE even if the version was
too old (i.e. < 4). People having such an old versions
only noticed this via later compile errors of binaries
using SuperLU. That is far too late.

With this patch we introduce a compile check into the
CMake module that fails for old unsupported versions.
In that case CMake will not find SuperLU.
