Description

Re: JuliaLang/julia#5840, JuliaLang/LinearAlgebra.jl#136, JuliaLang/julia#8240

We have a lot of easy targets to fill out the linear algebra functionality. These methods don't work at all. They don't have fallbacks to the dense method, even. Feel free to add more:
- [x] `BunchKaufman`
- [x] `Matrix`
- [x] `det`
- [x] `logdet`
- [ ] `LDLt{SymTridiagonal}`
- [x] `det`
- [x] `logdet`
- [ ] `norm`
- [ ] `tr`
- [ ] `eigvals`
- [ ] `eigvecs`
- [ ] `svdvals`
- [ ] `svd`
- [ ] `cond`
- [x] `Hessenberg`, `UpperHessenberg`
- [x] `eigen`, `eigvals`: #858
- [x] `qr` (mentioned in #625)

Research direction

Review the unchecked LDLt{SymTridiagonal} methods in the issue checklist and the referenced JuliaLang/julia#5840, LinearAlgebra.jl#136, and JuliaLang/julia#8240. Begin by determining which listed operations are still unsupported; the work is done when the remaining requested functions, including norm, tr, eigvals, eigvecs, svdvals, svd, and cond, work for that factorization.
