Iss76 - Add template class for fixed-size Vector (size known at compile time)

Comments on the implemented feature can be found here: #76

@andreadelprete works for me. Could you move the Vector1, Vector2, ... typedefs into the yarp::sig namespace? @lornat75 as author of a lot of the original code do you have any comments?

Speaking with Andrea I am fine with the solution he proposes. One recommendation is to add lots of tests because templates are nasty as we all know ☺

@andreadelprete just as a reminder, I'd happily merge this once the Vector1, Vector2, etc typedefs are moved out of the global namespace.

@paulfitz Sorry for the delay in replying, I was out of office last week. As I wrote in #76 I think this design (VectorN inherits from Vector) doesn't work well, so I'm gonna switch to the second solution (Vector inherits from VectorN) or to the solution you proposed (both Vector and VectorN inherit from VectorBase).

Ok, understood.
