They now only return what’s really their output (simulated paths, maximum
residual error…). This is a move towards a more functional programming style.
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.

There was no user interface, and the feature that it provides has lost
relevance over time.
Note that algorithms for block and/or bytecode still internally use some
equivalent of this parameter, but its initial value will no longer be
modifiable (which could lead to bugs, see commit
e49e7e906f).
With stack_solve_algo={0, 6} the verbosity is controlled with
options_.verbosity instead of options_.no_homotopy.
Also harmonized the printed informations across these two algorithms.
