Gaussian elimination

Gaussian elimination results in a matrix in row echelon form. Gaussian elimination with back-substitution (also known as Gauss-Jordan elimination) results in a matrix in reduced row echelon form. That being the case, we can reuse much of the code from the Reduced row echelon form task. Raku stores and does calculations on decimal numbers within its limit of precision using Rational numbers by default, meaning the calculations are exact.
