Summary:    Enable use of Fitting classes in distributed way

The basic fitting class (LSQFit and its derived LSQaips) has been enhanced with: - merge(): a full and sparse version. Merge will merge normal equations produced separately (e.g. on separate compute nodes) - toRecord/fromRecord: to enable transport of fitting information (normal equations e.g.) between different processing nodes the Fitting objecst can be converted to/from generic Records. Examples of the use of these facilities are in tLSQFit.
