Use MPIHelper instead of MPI directly. Should make make headercheck
succeed even if MPI is not installed. 

Merge to release to fix the autobuilds.

the Thomas algorithm to solve block-tridiagonal systems of equations.

NOTE:  Yes, I know that this is not the time to add new features.
However, tridiagonal matrices and the Thomas algorithm are important
components in line smoothers for anisotropic problems.  We will
need that soon for the AdaptHydroMod project, and therefore I would
like to have this matrix in the 2.0 release.

Also, this patch is not invasive at all: it just adds another matrix
class.

Please merge this to the release branch.

Now the hierarchy building is a factor 2 faster than previously. (And
as fast as in the beginning of October 2009).

This does not introduce any semantic change but allows to
save memory. If a matrix is copied the sparsity pattern is
reused. If the pattern of a copy is changed it gets newly
allocated and does not influence the original matrix.

int as type for the field of scaledidmatrix causes ambiguities because there are no std::sqrt(int) and std::fabs(int)

icc does not seem to no associated type value_type of an iterator. Now we use the iterator_traits to extract it.

*add calls to mv() and mtv()
*also test ScaledIdentityMatrix and DiagonalMatrix

* Removed ugly ReferenceStorageIterator since
  * it stored either a reference or a fake reference
  * you could not use iterator->method
  * you could not assign iterators
* Introduce ContainerWrapperIterator
  * always stores an assignable ContainerWrapper object
  * allows iterator->method()
  * can be used for any other sparse row type
