Add method "addToEntry" to the "RealVector" interface
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MATH-685
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-685
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Gilles
            Assignee: Gilles
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 3.0


Method "addToEntry":
{code}
m.addToEntry(i, j, addend);
{code}
as a shortcut to:
{code}
m.setEntry(i, j, m.getEntry(i, j) + addend);
{code}

It has been argued (on the "dev" ML) that some functional style would be a 
powerful and elegant way to implement a whole set of related functionality 
("scale", "scaleAndAdd", etc.). However some simple things (like when the 
"addend" depends on "i" and "j") cannot be achieved without writing many more 
lines of code.

Method "addToEntry" exists in "RealMatrix". If and when some satisfactory 
solution is found in order to remove it there, "RealVector" can always be 
aligned with it.
