It is now supported by the MATLAB editor (as of R2022a).
The old ASCII notation is left in some files that we copy as-is from other
sources (e.g. in the contrib/ and m4/ subdirectories).
The particles submodule is not updated at this point, because it is in an
inconsistent state.

Uses preprocessing capabilities introduced in 07137e804bFixes#392 and #494. Also fixes a bug in the checking for positive definiteness of covariance matrices in likelihood functions
Allows for calibrated covariances by reading them out and setting them after covariance matrix has been reconstructed from correlation and variances.
Adds unit test
1. The first call to set_prior overwrote the first column of
estim_params_.var_endo storing the position of the variable with
measurement error in M_.endo_names with the position in
options_.var_obs. All subsequent calls to set_prior then lead to
crashes.
2. At the same time, for correlations of ME, the first column of
estim_params_.corrn still stored the position of the variable with
measurement error in M_.endo_names. But subsequent calls to it were done
as if it stored the position in options_.var_obs
I introduced two new variables in estim_params_ storing the respective
positions in var_obs so as to not necessitate changes in the
preprocessors.
3. For cases of calibrated measurement error correlations, the
covariance matrix was not updated.
4. Fixing a lot of smaller bugs related to measurement errors, including
some copy and paste errors

Due to only using the diagonal of Sigma_e and the correlation matrix having ones on the diagonal, the diagonal entries of the covariance matrix are correctly built from recent draw. Later, when using the new draw for the correlations, only the correctly updated diagonal entries of Sigma_e are used.
