Symbolic Factorization Reuse

The Intel MKL solver will now use reuse the symbolic factorization, if the simulation matrix sparse matrix pattern has not changed after the second nonlinear solver iteration. This reduces simulation time, but can result in numerical differences in the simulation result.

The Intel MKL solver will now use reuse the symbolic factorization, if the simulation matrix sparse matrix pattern has not changed after the second nonlinear solver iteration. This reduces simulation time, but can result in numerical differences in the simulation result. Setting the environment variable, ``DEVSIM_NEW_SYMBOLIC``, will do a new symbolic factorization for each iteration.

The ``reset_devsim`` command will clear all simulator data, so that a program restart is not necessary.

LAPACK is Optional

When LAPACK functions are not available, it is now possible to use Eigen instead. BLAS is still required. It is up to the direct solver being used to determine necessary LAPACK functions.
