update mdds package

patch to update the Multi-Dimensional Data Structure package 0.3.1 (Oct 2010) to 1.0.0 (Oct 2015)
mdds is a source library like boost and only used in sc (Calc)
we use flat segment tree class for numeric cell properties

there were 2 build breaking changes:
* a return type changed from bool to pair<const_iterator,bool>, which lead to some simple changes in segmenttree.cxx
* uses of c++11 nullptr and unique_ptr, added a patch file for mdds to replace nullptr with NULL and comment out stuff with unique_ptr because it's not used by flat segmented tree

builds fine on Ubuntu 15.10
without the patch from issue 126469 you'll get a MD5 mismatch on bootstrap, but this shouldn't stop build process

I did this patch to learn more about the build process and external packages. This package has unlike others like boost or libxml2 only few changes and a very limited impact on AOO. Hope it works for you and gets committed.
