NDArray Implementation

Ideas for NDArray implementation as part of core.matrix

Proposed features

• Support arbitrary dimensionality
• Supports specialisation to primitive types as well as generic Object arrays
• Supports nulls for Object arrays
• Underlying representation is a flat underlying array, with offsets and strides per dimension
• Views can be created, sharing the same underlying array
• Option to expose underlying data as appropriate Buffer object
