Due to only using the diagonal of Sigma_e and the correlation matrix having ones on the diagonal, the diagonal entries of the covariance matrix are correctly built from recent draw. Later, when using the new draw for the correlations, only the correctly updated diagonal entries of Sigma_e are used.

Identification and sensitivity fixes

[to be fixed later by breaking the big matrix stored ...]

1) better trace all cases when the model does not solve, classifying cases according to info output of dynare_resolve;
2) trap the case of memory allocation limit for too large model undergoing to reduced form mapping

2) fixed initialization of alpha2_stab;

2) fixed bug for the ML base (bayestopt_.pshape==0);
3) make more transparent the error when the model does not solve at prior_mode or  prior_mean;
4) when prior_mean or prior_mode fail, try 50 times with randomly generated samples from the prior before interrupting identification.

This commit fixes issues related to fabiac forum request and subsequent discussion with Johannes.

Clarification for second moments at second order and to rplot; restriction of endogenous prior to stationary models

Eliminates warning message introduced in
4c8f3a89
Adds hint to approximation in table title and adds the information with
a reference to Kim/Kim/Schaumburg/Sims (2008) to manual.
closes #278

Closes #306

Closes #321

Another bugfix for rplot

Bugfixes, documentation, and features

Make other plot types take into account that variables are in rows, not
columns

At order=2, the variance decomposition is still based on order=1. This
commit introduces a warning. See issue #278
(https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/issues/278). This information that
the variance decomposition is only triggered at periods=0 has been added
to the manual.

Add option and code for endogenous priors according to
Christiano/Trabandt/Walentin 2011, JEDC. Still needs to be integrated to
manual and pre-processor.

Closes issue #315 (https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/issues/315)

still related to #316 (https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/pull/316)

If options_.SpectralDensity.trigger is specified, identification would
otherwise plot graphs in every MC step

Change of Field name to be consistent with manual

Fixed a bug for the non-Octave version where only the last active figure
was printed instead of the figure with the actual handle. Octave
eps-version still needs to be taken care of.

Add missing legend to sensitivity plot
