- Fixed the years in this Change log file 2018 -> 2019
- Added linear inversion process tomography (gh-142)
- Changed qubit tensor factor ordering of state tomography estimates to match that of process tomography, e.g.
tomographizing the plus eigenstate of `X0 * Z1` and passing in `qubits = [0,1]` will yield the state
estimate corresponding to `|+0> = (1, 0, 1, 0)/sqrt(2)` rather than `|0+>` (gh-142)

# state2matrix and pauli2matrix use pyquil tensor factor ordering where the least significant
# qubit, e.g. qubit 0, is the right-most tensor factor. We stick with the standard convention
