- remove the “linear” option of “stoch_simul”
- forbid exogenous and exogenous deterministic variables in STEADY_STATE
  operator (#825)

The logic of the dynSparseMatrix::Sparse_substract_SA_SB() routine was
incorrect.

In some cases, it would read past the last nonzero elements of the A matrix,
and consequently write past the number of allocated nonzero elements of the C
matrix.

This would lead to crashes and, probably, to wrong results under certain
circumstances.

Remove globals from user-defined steadystate file

M_ and options_ are now passed as an input; params is an output as in the _steadystate2.m files

Allows for easier maintenance

It’s not clear that such utilities are useful (people should rather update
their MATLAB). It’s also a lot of work, and it’s probably better to focus on
documenting the incompatibilities.

Closes: #915

It is not possible to use --disable-matlab and --disable-octave, because
otherwise `make dist` does not properly recurse.

By the way, factorize the computation of the path and version of the default
MATLAB installation.

In particular, if either MATLAB or Octave is missing, one needs to pass either
--disable-matlab or --disable-octave.

Moreover, several new configure flags have been introduced for disabling some
components:
--disable-doc
--disable-dynare++
--disable-mex-dynare++
--disable-mex-ms-sbvar
--disable-mex-kalman-steady-state

after check, oo_.dr isn't empty but oo_.dr.ghx + friends don't exist

The installation of Homebrew + GCC necessitates Xcode Command Line Tools, which will be installed if it is not present.

The installation of Homebrew + GCC is optional and can be deselected by the user.

This is not strictly needed since currently there is no submodule within a
submodule in Dynare. However, this is useful for the Enterprise
version (dseries has a matlab-fame-io submodule there). Moreover, this will
prevent bad surprises in the future should we introduce such a 2nd-level
submodule.

plot_identification.m: fix placing of white dots for infinite values

The detection of the slicot library failed because xerbla has been moved out of
the BLAS implementation shipped with Octave (probably since 5.1.0). This commit
fixes our fake implementation of mkoctfile so that it returns -lxerbla after
-lblas (as is done in the official Windows package for Octave).

Since 533a4ff7, several MEX files were missing
in the Windows package (gensylv, k-order, dynare_simul, MS-SBVAR). The problem
was that the environment variable containing the directory containing MSYS2
libraries (incl. matio and gsl) was not correctly passed to parallelized
subshells.

There were previously two lists of members, which were inconsistent.

By the way, add Sumudu to the list.
