sparseMatrixStats 1.17

Fix handling of missing values in 'rowSums2' if 'cols' is a boolean vector
Implement optimized code path for 'rowSums2' and 'rowMeans2' if 'cols' is provided

Throw error if length of 'center' in colVars, colSds, colMads (and corrresponding row-functions) does not match size of 'x'. This behavior was never supported by 'sparseMatrixStats' and previously could return incorrect results. This change matches the upcoming behavior of matrixStats (https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/matrixStats/issues/254).

Make sparseMatrixStats compatible with matrixStats release v1.0.0. In particular change 'useNames'to 'TRUE' by default.
Add fast path for 'rowSums2(x, cols = logical_vector)'
Add useNames parameter to all functions
fix incomplete method signature of rowQuantiles

Avoid C++14 features. This should fix the reoccuring installation problems.
Support center argument in colVars (and friends). This can speed up the calculation if both are needed. Note that center must be a proper estimate of the column means.
Fix bug that broke test on ARM architectures
Add extensive section on how to fix installation problems to README
Fix compatibility with matrixStats v.0.58.0
Fix bug in colCounts, colAnys, colAlls, colRanks if the sparse matrix contained explicit zeros.

Use numerically stable algorithms for sum, mean, and variance
Implement dedicated function for rowSums2, rowMeans2, rowVars which avoid transposing the input matrix to call the colXXX version
Support logical input (lgCMatrix) for all methods that matrixStats supports. Introduce new class xgCMatrix as union class of dgCMatrix and lgCMatrix.
Fix bug in colWeightedVars() that returned slightly off results on Linux, because there abs() internally returns integers instead of doubles
Change argument name in colRanks from 'preserve.shape' to 'preserveShape' to match matrixStats (thanks @LTLA for reporting)
Fix bug in low-level 'quantile_sparse()' related to +- Inf (thanks @LTLA for reporting)
Move MatrixGenerics from Imports to Depends so that loading matrixStats does not break calls to sparseMatrixStats (thanks @hpages for reporting)
Fix bug in [col|row]Quantile which ignored drop argument if length(probs) == 1
