Previously, LBJ was available:
– under stack_solve_algo=6 when neither block nor bytecode were present
– under stack_solve_algo=1 with either block or bytecode (but the documentation
was not making it clear that it was LBJ)
This commit merges the two values for the option, and makes them
interchangeable. LBJ should now be invoked with stack_solve_algo=1 (but
stack_solve_algo=6 is kept for compatibility, and is a synonymous).
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.

These options were implemented and described in the reference manual, but their
interface was missing.
By the way, make various minor improvements to the description of “model_info”
in the reference manual. In particular, remove the single quotes around the two
aforementioned options (which are a remnant from an older interface).
Also adjust the periods in Simulated_time_series (output of the perfect
foresight solver in the workspace). Note that this dseries object contains the
observations for the initial condition (M_.orig_maximum_lag observations) and
for the terminal condition (M_.orig_maximum_lead observations).
See #1838.
Fix testsuite (wrong file name)
The change implemented in 21a8a5794a broke the
testsuite and was incomplete.
– new option “overwrite” to provide the old behaviour (used to fix the testsuite);
– when concatenating several “estimated_params” block, the preprocessor now
checks that paramateres are not declared twice across blocks.
– multiple “model” and “estimated_params” block are supported
– new “model_options” statement to set model options in a global fashion
– new “model_remove” command to remove equations
– new “model_replace” block to replace equations
– new “var_remove” command to remove variables (or parameters)
– new “estimated_params_remove” block to remove estimated parameters
