Compute the 1-norm estimate of the reciprocal condition number as returned
by @sc{lapack}.

If the matrix is well-conditioned then @var{c} will be near 1 and if the
matrix is poorly conditioned it will be close to 0.

The matrix @var{A} must not be sparse.  If the matrix is sparse then
@code{condest (@var{A})} or @code{rcond (full (@var{A}))} should be used
instead.
