Details:

The attached patch adds a new constructor to dim_vector so it can work with
any number of dimensions. This uses C++11 features. This can replace the
existing macros that are limited to 7 dimensions.

It has the following issues:

* throws an exception if less than 2 dimensions are defined. Maybe we should
we have liboctave exceptions instead?

* it's not container agnostic. Would be nice if it worked for vector but I'm
not sure about the best way of doing that. Using a template for the STL
sequence containers creates ambiguous constructors for Arrays.
