Matrix exponentiation using Scaling and Squaring Algorithm.
[contributed by @prashanth018 and reviewed by Lydia and @npadmana]

'expm' method takes in an N*N array as an argument and returns an exponentiated
matrix of same dimension. Time Complexity of this approach is approximately O(15.n^3)

Passed a full paratest with futures and the built docs look good
