Pseudoinverse for multivectors

See original GitHub issue

Would it be possible to add an option to use the matrix pseudoinverse instead of the normal matrix inverse into the method for computing inverses for multivectors? Having read the relevant chapter in Christian Perwass’ book, he also mentions there that a pseudoinverse should work. I think it would be very nice to add an option to e.g. the .inv() method that allows something like

M.inv(pseudo=True)

given that in some situations this is still meaningful to do.

I think we still use it for algebras greater than dimension 6?

I’ve taken the liberty of making a PR for this with a slightly different API then suggested above: I added a .pinv() method to really make it easy to distinguish. Let me know if you like it or want to see some changes!
