		Construct Magic Rectangles and Nearly Magic Rectangles //
		Constructs a magic rectangle or a nearly magic rectangle of
		order p x q for every order for which one exists, together with
		existence classification and verification utilities. A magic
		rectangle arranges the integers 1 to p*q so that all row sums
		are equal and all column sums are equal; it exists exactly when
		p and q have the same parity, excluding 2 x 2 and degenerate
		single-row/column cases (Hagedorn, 1999,
		doi:10.1016/S0012-365X(99)00041-2). When p and q have opposite
		parity a nearly magic rectangle exists instead, with constant
		sums along one direction and sums differing by at most one
		along the other (Chai, Singh and Stufken, 2019, Journal of
		Combinatorial Designs 27(6), 368-376). Implements the
		constructions of De Los Reyes, Das, Midha and Vellaisamy (2009)
		for even by even orders, Chai, Das and Midha (2013) for odd by
		odd orders, and Chai, Singh and Stufken (2019) for the nearly
		magic (even by odd) case.
