Pull request #258 (2023-05-24 20:06:27)

Fixed issue #256 (faster division/reciprocal/sqrt for multivariate auto-diff)
The benefits of the new implementation are particularly visible at high order. They can be seen for example with the following code (switching between the old and new, going from a few minutes to a few seconds):
```
final DSFactory factory = new DSFactory(3, 10);
DerivativeStructure lhs = FastMath.cos(factory.variable(1, 2.5));
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
      lhs = lhs.reciprocal();
}
```

Note: a test class in package `linear` regarding `Field` QR decomposition had to be switched from `DerivativeStructure` to `Gradient ` in order for two tests to still pass. The root problem is very much more likely to come from unchecked divisions by zeros than an actual issue with the new code.
