  C.-P. Jeannerod, C. Pernet and A. Storjohann, Rank-profile revealing
  Gaussian elimination and the CUP matrix decomposition.  J. Symbolic
  Comput. 56 (2013), 46-68.

  Decompose an m x n-matrix A of rank r as C*U*P, with
  - C: m x r-matrix in column echelon form (not necessarily reduced)
       with all pivots equal to 1
  - U: upper-triangular r x n-matrix
  - P: permutation matrix
  The pivots of C and the known zeroes in C and U are not necessarily
  filled in; instead, we also return the vector R of pivot rows.
  Instead of the matrix P, we return the permutation p of [1..n]
  (t_VECSMALL) such that P[i,j] = 1 if and only if j = p[i].
