Title: RFC:Implemented some functionality for symmetric matrices

Initial attempt to implement a ```SymmetrixMatrix``` type initiated by #1516. Still a lot to be done. Temporarily, most of the new code have been put in the new file symmetrixmatrix.jl for convenience, but should eventually be put elsewhere.

Note that many things are broken because ```syrk_wrapper``` returns a ```SymmetricMatrix``` which still lacks methods and this request therefore fails the tests.
