The document string for fipy.solvers.scipy.linearBicgstabSolver.py claims
it takes the arguments "tolerance," "iterations" and "precon", but it does
not.

To reproduce this bug, make sure you are using the scipy solvers, and
compare the results for, e.g.
  eq.solve(var=psi,solver=fipy.LinearPCGSolver(tolerance=1.0e-3)) to
eq.solve(var=psi,solver=fipy.LinearBicgstabSolver(tolerance=1.0e-3)). The
later throws the error:

In [43]:
eq.solve(var=psi,solver=fipy.LinearBicgstabSolver(tolerance=1.0e-3))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-43-0e7f0df869ec> in <module>()
----> 1 eq.solve(var=psi,solver=fipy.LinearBicgstabSolver(tolerance=1.0e-3))

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'tolerance'



In fipy version 3.1; the error appears to be in the latest git version of
the code as well; it appears the problem is in the
fipy/fipy/solvers/scipy/linearBicgstabSolver.py, where the arguments are
simply not based to bicgstab.

This is too bad, for LinearBicgstabSolver gives by far the best results on
my problem, and the underlying scipy.sparse.linalg.bicgstab does take the
argument "tol".

I think I could fix the problem staring at the code, but the
class/inheritance that is going on is above what I really understand, and I
am afraid I would bolix things further.

Thanks,
Jamie
