fix to #1935. Forced options_.analytic_derivation=-1; must be set before entering dynare_minimize_objective

It should have been done in commit b9af92eb.

By the way, fix a font decoration issue.

 fix identification bugs

See commit 2983aafa for the rationale.

In situations where the solution cannot be found for an informational period > 1
using the same completion share as for the first informational period, suggest
to decrease the value of the homotopy_max_completion_share option.

Use the model simulation based on a first-order local approximation as
the initial guess for the nonlinear solver in each period. Can
speed-up extended path simulations.

We could also consider simulations based on higher order
approximations, but I did not find any significant improvements with a
second order approximation.

However do not set that option permanently (and also disable RemoveSemicolon by
default), since the clang-format manual states that these options can lead to
incorrect formatting and thus their result should be carefully reviewed.
