Change conversion operators (operator K()) to return references instead of values
We simply return a reference to the internal memory instead of copying the object. This should save some copying when using FieldVector/FieldMatrix with non-trivial types. Also, it fixes crashes I have experienced with the ADOL-C automatic differentiation toolbox [0]. I hope that this patch doesn't have any nasty side effects. I didn't see any so far. Comments for this patch had been requested in FS 1449, and there have been no objections. [0] I have contacted the ADOL-C maintainer about this and he said the crashes are not really bugs in ADOL-C, but that it is simply very difficult to write a good operator-overloading AD program that can handle operator K returning values.
