Write wrapper for Pardiso sparse solver #13

The Pardiso solver seems to offer significant speedups compared to UMFPACK, at least in initial tests. A wrapper to use this library should be built using ctypes and the documentation.

Unfortunately, real world speed tests are not so positive: 2x slower for ecoinvent 2.2, 1.5 times slower for ecoinvent 3.2. SuiteSparse is still the gold standard.
