Pyomo.DoE/ParmEst software design Decision: Where to locate shared code to compute Jacobian

[adowling2]

Summary

ParmEst/Pyomo.DoE both need capabilities to compute the Jacobian of the measurement outputs with respect to parameters. This can be done several ways:

1. Finite difference
2. AD with kaug
3. AD with PyNumero

Rationale

Reduce duplicate code

Description

Proposal: Move this capability to the Measurement class.

Where to put things is always a challenge, but reducing duplicate is always good. Maybe we should we start adding some structure to contrib?
