Corrections: put resol back where needed.

Use of the compute_decision_rules function to factorize code (Ref.#1173)

bvar: fix description of lag lengths

Also warns about the behavior of macro directives in comments.

As a consequence, adapt histval_initvalf.m to the new format.

Also add a regression test.

This reverts commit 016c402a.

The problem has been fixed in MSYS2, see:

— Properly escape some characters in JSON. As a consequence, remove the
  workaround that was in matlab/loadjson_.m
— Fix JSON output for load_params_and_steady_state
— Add maximum lead/lag and varobs to JSON output

There is (on 2021-03-29) a problem in the -static-libgfortran linker option that
affects the Dynare++ binaries.
See https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/7023
and https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/6986
Until this is fixed, the workaround is to add the --default-image-base-low linker
option.
We do *not* want to do this when cross-compiling from Debian (because the option does
not exist there), hence we test for cross-compilation before applying the workaround.

— avoid outputing the whole Github page to install.log
— also make it more robust by directly testing return code

Bug introduced in 11f8f9c7

The datafile was name “data.m”, and for some unidentified reason, this stopped
working with MATLAB R2021a.

Closes Dynare/dynare#1732

The current Octave support is utterly broken (both in stable and unstable), it
crashes Octave. It relies on an unofficial Octave app for
macOS (https://octave-app.org), which is infrequently updated.

This commits drop support for Octave in the macOS package. We will now tell our
macOS+octave users to use the Homebrew Dynare package (which is maintained by
the Homebrew team, and is in reasonably good shape).

Closes: #1764

In its output, the MEX was returning values for all endogenous variables, but
it was used in a context where only the variables from oo_.dr.restrict_var_list
were expected (as is done with local_state_space_iteration_2 MEX).

This commit fixes this discrepancy, and also fixes the test that was checking
that both MEX are returning the same output.

Closes: #1768
