Nerd_STF v2.4.1

Hey everyone! This is one of the larger small updates, and I'm pretty proud of what I got done in a week.

Along with adding setters to parts like Float3.XY and fixing a few bugs, almost all improvements in this update are related to matricies. First of all, I've added a bunch of new items to the IMatrix interface. Now, any deriving matrix has more requirements that fit the regular Matrix type. I don't know why one would use the IMatrix interface rather than a specific matrix type, but now the options are more sophisticated.

I've added some new stuff to all the matrix types, including row operations. You can now scale a row, add a row to another, and swap two rows. If I become aware of any more commonly-used row operations, I'll add then in a 2.4.2 update. But I think I've got all the good ones. There is also a mutable version of each operation which, rather than returning a new matrix with changes made, instead applies the changes to itself.

Did you know I made two seperate blunders in the Cofactor() method? For the Matrix2x2 version of the Cofactor() method, I had the diagonal elements swapped. Whoops. For the Matrix version of the Cofactor() method, matricies with even column count would break because of the alternating sign pattern I was using. Now, as far as I know, that bug is fixed.

The last thing I did was add the ability to turn a matrix into its equivalent row-echelon form. This is applicable only to the Matrix type (the dynamic one), and works with some levels of success. It's a little weird and tends to give results with lots of negative zeroes, but overall it's fine, I think. As far as I know there aren't any obvious bugs. We'll see though.

Anyway, that's everything in this update. Again, pretty small, but meaningful nonetheless. Unless I haven't screwed anything up, the next update I work on will be 2.5, so I'll see you then!
