skip Cholesky decomposition in is>>n_mv_dist
normal_mv_distribution maintains the variance-covariance matrix param
in Cholesky-decomposed form. Existing param_type constructors, when
taking a full or lower-triangle varcov matrix, perform Cholesky
decomposition to convert it to the internal representation. This
internal representation is visible both in the varcov() result, and in
the streamed-out representation of a normal_mv_distribution object.
The problem is that when that representation is streamed back in, the
read-back decomposed varcov matrix is used as a lower-triangle
non-decomposed varcov matrix, and it undergoes Cholesky decomposition
again. So, each cycle of stream-out/stream-in changes the varcov
matrix to its "square root", instead of restoring the original
params.
This patch includes Corentin's changes that introduce verification in
testsuite/ext/random/normal_mv_distribution/operators/serialize.cc and
other similar tests that the object read back in compares equal to the
written-out object: the modified tests pass only if (u == v).
This patch also fixes the error exposed by his change, introducing an
alternate private constructor for param_type, used only by operator>>.
