New description:

 The target of this ticket is to enhance the function weak_popov of the
 matrix interface.  The function should transform the matrix in weak popov
 form, it will use mulders-storjohann algorithm and should be much faster
 than the current implementation but will not work for polynomials over a
 fraction field only for polynomial rings over finite fields.

 This ticket is independent from but connected to
 [wiki:trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16739 #16739].

 Short description of weak popov form: Let R be an ordered Ring and Amxn a
 matrix over R. The leading position of a row is called the position i in
 [1,m) such that the order of A[i,_] is maximal within the row. If there
 are multiple entries with the maximum order, the highest i is the leading
 position (the furthest to the right in the matrix). A is in weak popov
 form if all leading positions are different (zero lines ignored).

 The function will implement this only for polynomial rings, the order
 function is the degree of the polynomial. Example:

 [x2+1, x]

 [x, x+1]

 is in weak popov form: Row 1 has the degrees 2 and 1, the leading position
 is for i=0, row 2 has two times degree 1 so the higher i is chosen with
 i=1.

 [x2+1, x]

 [x,0]

 is NOT in weak popov form, row 1 has now degrees 1 and -1, so the leading
 position is i=0 as in row 1.
