Faster CFA without data augmentation

Also move the below line to generated quantities. There’s no need to construct this matrix anymore unless you want to look at it.

  corr_matrix[M] Omega = multiply_lower_tri_self_transpose(L_Omega);

In addition, I think it makes sense to try the cholesky_decompose on new_cov and call multi_normal_cholesky instead of multi_normal.
