This is needed for the new gradientflow application.  The standard 'distance' method
doesn't cut it, because it is not differentiable near zero.  Therefore, even the
differentiable expression 'distance*distance' will fail to be differentiable for
an automatic-differentiation system.  I think in the long run we should replace
'distance' by 'distanceSquared' everywhere it is used.

Unfortunately, this patch is hacky: it only adds the method for the double/adouble
combination.
