Generate ‘6d robot arm’ dataset (Williams and Rasmussen 1996)

Was originally created in order to test the correctness of the implementation of kernel ARD. For full details see: http://www.gaussianprocess.org/gpml/code/matlab/doc/regression.html#ard

x_1 picked randomly in [-1.932, -0.453] x_2 picked randomly in [0.534, 3.142] r_1 = 2.0 r_2 = 1.3 f(x_1,x_2) = r_1 cos (x_1) + r_2 cos(x_1 + x_2) + N(0,0.0025) etc.
