Missing element promotion in I(n)*F.Q'

[olof3]

Looking into some other problems with the Q in QR related to #800, I noticed that a method is missing. Not a big deal, and pretty much any change to this example makes it work. But perhaps it is convenient to fix this at the same time as #800.

When i try to change the rmul! method to accommodate Matrix{Bool}, it gives me a gemqrt! error which is weird.

Why is it not catching Char under AbstractChar?

I've updated the title. The error is a bit misleading. We shouldn't have an rmul! method for Bool elements as there is no way that you can apply a reflection to a matrix of Booleans. Instead, the multiplication method should promote the elements to the element type of the Q matrix.
