interp3d - 3d spline evaluation function

### Calling Sequence

  `[fp[,dfpdx,dfpdy,dfpdz]]=interp3d(xp,yp,zp,tl,out_mode)`

### Parameters

- `xp, yp, zp` : real vectors or matrices of same size
- `tl` : tlist of type "splin3d", defining a 3d tensor spline (called `s` in the following)
- `out_mode` : (optionnal) string defining the evaluation of `s` outside the grid ([xmin,xmax]x[ymin,ymax]x[zmin,zmax])
- `fp` : vector or matrix of same format than `xp` , `yp` and `zp` , elementwise evaluation of `s` on these points.
- `dfpdx, dfpdy, dfpdz` : vectors (or matrices) of same format than `xp` , `yp` and `zp` , elementwise evaluation of the first derivatives of `s` on these points.

### Description

Given a tlist `tl` defining a 3d spline function (see `splin3d` ) this function evaluates s (and ds/dx, ds/dy, ds/dz if needed) at (xp(i),yp(i),zp(i)) :

          zp(i) = s(xp(i),yp(i))
          dzpdx(i) = ds/dx(xp(i),yp(i),zp(i))
          dzpdy(i) = ds/dy(xp(i),yp(i),zp(i))
          dzpdz(i) = ds/dz(xp(i),yp(i),zp(i))

The `out_mode` parameter defines the evaluation rule for extrapolation, i.e. for (xp(i),yp(i),zp(i)) not in [xmin,xmax]x[ymin,ymax]x[zmin,zmax]:

  - "by_zero" : an extrapolation by zero is done
  - "by_nan" : extrapolation by Nan
  - "C0" : the extrapolation is defined as follows :

             s(x,y) = s(proj(x,y)) where proj(x,y) is nearest point
                                   of [x(1),x(nx)]x[y(1),y(ny)] from (x,y)

  - "periodic" : `s` is extended by periodicity.
