commainitialier unit-test never actually called `test_block_recursion`, which also was not correctly implemented and would have caused too deep template recursion.
For random matrices with integer coefficients, many of the tests here lead to
integer overflows. When taking the norm() of a row/column, the squaredNorm()
often overflows to a negative value, leading to domain errors when taking the
sqrt(). This leads to a crash on some systems. By replacing the norm() call by
a squaredNorm(), the values still overflow, but at least there is no domain
error.

This provides a new op that matches std::rint and previous behavior of
pround. Also adds corresponding unsupported/../Tensor op.
Performance is the same as e. g. floor (tested SSE/AVX).
This fixes deprecated-copy warnings when compiling with GCC>=9
Also protect some additional Base-constructors from getting called by user code code (#1587)
This change re-instates the fast rational approximation of the logistic function for float32 in Eigen (removed in 66f07efeae), but uses the more accurate approximation 1/(1+exp(-1)) ~= exp(x) below -9. The exponential is only calculated on the vectorized path if at least one element in the SIMD input vector is less than -9.
This change also contains a few improvements to speed up the original float specialization of logistic:
- Introduce EIGEN_PREDICT_{FALSE,TRUE} for __builtin_predict and use it to predict that the logistic-only path is most likely (~2-3% speedup for the common case).
- Carefully set the upper clipping point to the smallest x where the approximation evaluates to exactly 1. This saves the explicit clamping of the output (~7% speedup).
The increased accuracy for tanh comes at a cost of 10-20% depending on instruction set.
The benchmarks below repeated calls
u = v.logistic() (u = v.tanh(), respectively)
where u and v are of type Eigen::ArrayXf, have length 8k, and v contains random numbers in [-1,1].

This also adds pset1frombits helper to Packet[24]d.
Makes round ~45% slower for SSE: 1.65µs ± 1% before vs 2.45µs ± 2% after,
stil an order of magnitude faster than scalar version: 33.8µs ± 2%.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the block.
This is no longer the preferred style.
2. Simplify handling of special cases by taking advantage of the fact that the
builtin vrsqrt approximation handles negative, zero and +inf arguments correctly.
This speeds up the SSE and AVX implementations by ~20%.
3. Make the Newton-Raphson formula used for rsqrt more numerically robust:
Before: y = y * (1.5 - x/2 * y^2)
After: y = y * (1.5 - y * (x/2) * y)
Forming y^2 can overflow for very large or very small (denormalized) values of x, while x*y ~= 1. For AVX512, this makes it possible to compute accurate results for denormal inputs down to ~1e-42 in single precision.
4. Add a faster double precision implementation for Knights Landing using the vrsqrt28 instruction and a single Newton-Raphson iteration.
