Field G. Van Zee c73055f028 Return after non-zero info in BLAS checks.
Details:
- Previously, when calling the BLAS compatibility layer, discovering a
  parameter check failure would result in the proper setting of the
  info parameter (printed by xerbla_()), but would also come with an
  immediate abort() rather than a return. This was incorrect behavior
  for two overlapping reasons.
  (1) BLAS should return gracefully to the caller in the event of a
      bad set of parameters, not abort().
  (2) When BLIS was being tested via the BLAS testsuite, BLIS's
      xerbla_() would correctly get preempted/overridden by the
      xerbla_() in the BLAS testsuite, but execution would then
      erroneously continue on to the BLIS implementation with bad
      parameter values.
- The previous issue was addressed by disabling the abort() in BLIS's
  xerbla_(), changing all of the BLAS _check() functions to cpp macros,
  and adding a return statement to the end of each _check() macro's
  "if ( info != 0 )" conditional.
  Thanks to Dave Love for reporting this issue.
