Integrate new features from the CMA-ES branch into the trunk

[mkommend]

In addition to the new CMA-ES algorithm some other features were developed in the same branch, which should be integrated in the trunk:

• Logarithmic display of axis in data tables
• NormalDistributedRealVectorCreator

r9258: Integrated changes developed in the CMA-ES branch by abeham in the trunk.

[mkommend]

Reviewed r9258 (originally developed by abeham):

• DataTableVisualProperties: log scales for axis miss the associated storable property or is it intended that these properties are not stored

• NormalDistributedRealVectorCreator:
  • Very nice API documentation
  • Use ArgumentNullException instead of ArgumentException to indicate if an argument is null
  • Providing too large sigma values can lead to great many tries to generate a valid value. 1-dimensional example, Mean = 0, Bounds = [-1 E-3,1E-3], Sigma = 1000000 would in fact lead to an endless loop. A check if the mean lies between the bounds is already implemented and a similar check should be added if a reasonable sigma value was chosen. The other possibility to handle such situation would be to introduce a maximum number of tries to generate a valid value.
