Fixes #209

I also took the liberty to make the descriptions of the factorisations more uniform.
Happy to change any of them if the reviewers believe that a different option is better.

  • Added explicit formulae for the factorisations in the main description

  • Added properties (triangular, orthogonal, etc) of the returned matrices in the main description and
    the return section

  • Uniform language: Prefer "Returns" over "Computes" at the start of every
    description.

  • Uniform language: Prefer "decomposition" over "factorization"

Added properties of the returned matrices in the main description and
the return section

Uniform: Always say "(or a stack of matrices)" rather than repeating the
properties of the matrices. E.g. Do not write "a square matrix (or a stack of square
matrices)" but simply "a square matrix (or stack of matrices)"

Uniform: Prefer "Returns" over "Computes" at the start of every
description.
