covLSQR: Sparse Equations and Least Squares

AUTHORS: Ekaterina Kostina, Michael Saunders, Inga Schierle.
CONTRIBUTORS: Chris Paige.
CONTENTS: Implementation of a conjugate-gradient type method for solving sparse linear equations and sparse least-squares problems: Solve
```
Ax = b
```
or
```
minimize || Ax - b ||²
```
or
```
minimize || Ax - b ||² + d² ||x||²
```
the same as LSQR.
Special feature: LSQR and covLSQR can estimate the diagonal of C = (A'A + d² I) ^-1. covLSQR can also estimate any principal submatrix of C. It was developed to estimate the parameter covariance matrix for large parameter estimation problems with nonlinear equality constraints, as described in Technical Report SOL 2009-1 (see below).
