KillingMatrix -- Constructs the Killing matrix of the ExteriorExtension

Description

The Killling matrix is constructed by taking the adjoint of every basis vector of the algebra, then computing the trace of each bracket between them and storing the results in a matrix. The matrices constructed by this can get very large, and take a long time to compute.
