Irf restrictions and identification

Fixed bad representation of identification patterns for moment information matrix (and also fixed figure title)

1) Define a new type of parameter Random_prior_params, when prior/posterior mean mode do not work and the code searches randomly in the prior space a parameter combination that provides unique saddle path solution;
2) save point estimates in separate file, in order not lose work when subsequent analyses are done for prior/posterior mean/mode etc.

Fixes to mode_compute=5. (1) force univariate steps at every iteration: improve robustness at the expenses of a bit less efficiency; (2) fix gradient computation for special cases when the value of the parameters get stacked at the prior boundary.

Harmonize plotting of IRFS

Similar problem to #446

Trap the case where only one parameter is estimated and only one non-constant row is available in Jacobian: (1) do not use vnorm; (2) do not use advanced option.
(cherry picked from commit d9856879)

In stoch_simul.m IRFs were only printed if they were not flat instead of checking whether the IRF is different from 0. Unit root responses were thus filtered out, e.g. C=0.2 for all t was not displayed.

Document treatment of parameters in steady state files

Changed documented behaviour of @dseries/save method (do not document the default value of basename).
