Second order DFT solver #63

Description

@prehner

This paper describes a matrix-free Newton algorithm for DFT. The action of the Jacobian on the solution is calculated efficiently using FFT. This can be combined with a linear solver like GMRES that requires only the product of the Jacobian with the current x value.

Convergence could be improved, but as of right now it looks like we would need to implement the GMRES algorithm ourselves.
