As a consequence, a new “block_decomposed” option of the bytecode MEX has been
introduced to explicitly select the block-decomposed version.
Note that we do not always use the “block_decomposed” option even when the
“block” option has been passed to the user, in situations where the block
decomposition brings nothing (e.g. when evaluating the residuals of the whole
model).
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.

– Temporary terms were not correctly passed between blocks
– solve_algo ⩾ 9 was incorrectly passed through bytecode own’s solver instead
of through dynare_solve
Because at some point throwing exceptions from MEX files (with mexErrMsgTxt())
was not working under Windows 64-bit, we had designed a workaround to avoid
using exceptions.
Most MEX files were returning an error code as their first (or sometimes last)
argument, and that code would have to be checked from the MATLAB code.
Since this workaround is no longer needed, this commit removes it. As a
consequence, the interface of many MEX files is modified.
