Notes
When using a non-standard inner product, see BVSetMatrix(), the solver needs
to compute sqrt(z'*B*z) for various vectors z. If the inner product has not
been declared indefinite, the value z'*B*z must be positive, but due to
rounding error a tiny value may become negative. A tolerance is used to
detect this situation. Likewise, in complex arithmetic z'*B*z should be
real, and we use the same tolerance to check whether a nonzero imaginary part
can be considered negligible.
This function sets this tolerance, which defaults to 10*eps, where eps is
the machine epsilon. The default value should be good for most applications.
