This code introduces a check to prevent infinite loop cases. In the test case added in 'test_unsolvable', the software looped infinitely rather than raising an error. I tested this and found that the error was occurring after the cost_matrix had been padded.
An infinite loop occurs where all remaining uncovered values are DISALLOWED. This identifies the case and raises an UnsolvableMatrix exception. I have not written a test for this as my current reproducable example is a 500 by 400 matrix.

There is a further edge case where, in step 4, the only uncovered values are disallowed. The system defaults to a
minvalofsys.maxsize, which it then tries to take away from all the disallowed objects. It fails, but then loops through this process again, infinitely. I cannot find a small reproducable case for this, but have tried it with my own failing matrix (500 by 400 items)This seems to fix #28
