fillMatrix -- fill a mutable matrix with random numbers

Synopsis

Usage:
fillMatrix M
fillMatrix(M,n)
Function: fillMatrix
Inputs:
- M, a mutable matrix
- n, an integer, if specified, the maximum number of entries to replace
Optional inputs:
- Density => a real number, default value 1, the fraction of entries of M to be replaced, if n is not specified
- UpperTriangular => a Boolean value, default value false, whether to fill entries only above the diagonal
- Height => an integer, default value 10, a bound on the absolute values of the generated random numbers
Outputs:
- M
Consequences:
- some entries of M are replaced with randomly generated numbers, whose size depends on the value of the option Height
