Field G. Van Zee a6437a5c11 Replaced broken ref99 sandbox w/ simpler version.
Details:
- The 'ref99' sandbox was broken by multiple refactorings and internal
  API changes over the last two years. Rather than try to fix it, I've
  replaced it with a much simpler version based on var2 of gemmsup.
  Why not fix the previous implementation? It occurred to me that the
  old implementation was trying to be a lightly simplified duplication
  of what exists in the framework. Duplication aside, this sandbox
  would have worked fine if it had been completely independent of the
  framework code. The problem was that it was only partially
  independent, with many function calls calling a function in BLIS
  rather than a duplicated/simplified version within the sandbox. (And
  the reason I didn't make it fully independent to begin with was that
  it seemed unnecessarily duplicative at the time.) Maintaining two
  versions of the same implementation is problematic for obvious
  reasons, especially when it wasn't even done properly to begin with.
  This explains the reimplementation in this commit. The only catch is
  that the newer implementation is single-threaded only and does not
  perform any packing on either input matrix (A or B). Basically, it's
  only meant to be a simple placeholder that shows how you could plug
  in your own implementation. Thanks to Francisco Igual for reporting
  this brokenness.
- Updated the three reference gemmsup kernels (defined in
  ref_kernels/3/bli_gemmsup_ref.c) so that they properly handle
  conjugation of conja and/or conjb. The general storage kernel, which
  is currently identical to the column-storage kernel, is used in the
  new ref99 sandbox to provide basic support for all datatypes
  (including scomplex and dcomplex).
- Minor updates to docs/Sandboxes.md, including adding the threading
  and packing limitations to the Caveats section.
- Fixed a comment typo in bli_l3_sup_var1n2m.c (upon which the new
  sandbox implementation is based).
