Old description:

> Patch adds a routine to create a matrix with every entry equal to one.

New description:

 This ticket began with building an all-ones matrix constructor, as
 contained on the first patch.  But that was already happening over on
 #9685.

 New title, new decription, new patch are about adding onto the
 `ones_matrix` constructor.  Specifically,


 1.  Significant additions to the documentation.

 2.  Setting {{{nrows=None}}} in the function definition allows for a call
 with just a single integer entry, producing a square matrix over the
 integers, similar to the behavior for `identity_matrix`.  Requires one new
 error-check.

 3.  Isn't it better to coerce a generic 1 into the ring and then use that
 to populate the matrix?  I've done that.
