In Octave, when some values given to the sparse() function are numerically
zero, then the nzmax of the generated sparse matrix is shrinked accordingly;
while under MATLAB, the nzmax is the length of the vector of values, zeros
included.
The check at the top of
DynamicModelMFile::unpackSparseMatrixAndCopyIntoTwoDMatData() would then fail
under Octave if some higher-derivatives had an element which is symbolically
non-zero but numerically zero.
We therefore relax the check, and accordingly adapt the code that handles
numerical zeros.
This bug was uncovered by tests/pruning/AnSchorfheide_pruned_state_space.mod,
which was failing under Octave.
This is a partial revert of 8fa4c483f9.
Actually, the official name is “GNU Octave”, and it is easier to find it under
that name in search engines. So use the full name at a few prominent places,
and use the shorter “Octave” everywhere else.
The workaround consists in appending the names of those macro-directives with a
regular space followed by a zero-width space (U+200B).
An extra LaTeX declaration was also added in order to make this hack work with
the PDF.

Implicit expansion (a.k.a. automatic broadcasting) was introduced in MATLAB
R2016b (and it has been present in Octave for quite some time).
Hence use bsxfun() instead.
The problem had been introduced in 228b2a532.
Under Octave, the default seed in fs2000ns_uncorr_ME.mod leads to a generated
dataset that makes fs2000ns_corr_ME.mod and fs2000ns_corr_ME_missing.mod
fail (due to a large difference between univariate and multivariate diffuse
filters).
The steady state is always zero for discretionary policy. And, in the case of a
steady state file, this call would not be able to update parameters (since it
does not modify M_), nor would it need to do so (since this has already be done
earlier in the function).
