The tests kalman_filter_smoother/fs2000_smoother_only.mod and
kalman_filter_smoother/fs2000_smoother_only_ns.mod would fail under MATLAB
R2014a.

They both run the estimation command without having declared an estim_params
block.

Their execution would fail in check_bounds_and_definiteness_estimation, at the
point where we check if initial values are below the lower bound.

The problem is that xparam1 would be of size 0×1, while bounds.lb would be
empty (0×0), and the comparison fails on older MATLABs.

The fix consists in ensuring that xparam1 remains of size 0×0 in that case.

The previous name was misleading, since this is not the same as bayestopt_.

The confusion was introduced in cfe10693.

This is necessary for MATLAB R2014a on some runners.

Rename histval_initval_file/ramst_data.mod to ramst_data_generate.mod.
Otherwise, there is a conflict between the +ramst_data folder and the generated
ramst_data.m.

Similarily, rename shock_decomposition/shock_decomposition_backward.mod to
shock_decomposition/shock_decomp_backward.mod (otherwise it conflicts with
matlab/shock_decomposition_backward.m).

This will alleviate the disk storage pressure on eris.

Matlab optimizers require it

Also remove the interface to det_cond_forecast.
