Added method dynTimeIndex::mpower -> lead-lag operators à la G-M ;-).

This method can be used to apply the lead and lag methods an arbitrary number of times to a dynSeries object. For instance, if ts is a dynSeries object, and if we define

>> B = dynTimeIndex()-1;
>> F = dynTimeIndex()+1;

B and F can be used as lag and lead operators and the following syntax:

>> us = ts(F^2);

is equivalent to

>> us = ts.lead(2)

or

>> us = ts.lead.lead

% Overloads binary mpower operator (^).
%
% INPUTS :
% * A, dynTimeIndex object.
% * B, integer scalar.

% OUTPUTS :
% * C, dynTimeIndex object.
%
% EXAMPLE 1 :
%
% >> B = dynTimeIndex()-1;
% >> B
% B = <dynTimeIndex: -1>
% >> B^4
% ans = <dynTimeIndex: -4>
