Set decompose equal to false if the expectation model is not a PAC.

Closes: #1832

The print_expectations routine was previously only considering the
aggregate expectation (for the target). Now it updates the
database (dseries) with each component of the PAC model. The growth
neutrality correction is included in the aggregate expectation but not
in the expectations of the components.

This partially reverts commit 26597bf0.

Ref. !1983

Ref. !1982

Also moved some integration tests.

Also removed the distinction between exogenous and endogenous variables when
replacing variables by columns in the data matrix.

The taget in PAC equation can be decomposed into an arbitrary number of components (variables
in the VAR auxiliary model).

TODO Iterative OLS estimation (which is not the preferred estimation routine).
TODO Decomposition in the routine evaluating the forecasts for each component.
