The code for sparse matrix solvers has been reorganized and a new solver has
been added next to `kwant.solvers.sparse`: `kwant.solvers.mumps`. The new
solver uses the `MUMPS <http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/>`_ software package and
is much (
often 2-3 times and more
) faster than the UMFPACK-based old solver.

In addition, MUMPS uses considerably less memory for a given system while at
the same time it is able to take advantage of more than 2 GiB of RAM.
