Lasso on dense and sparse data

We show that linear_model.Lasso provides the same results for dense and sparse data and that in the case of sparse data the speed is improved.

Out:

--- Dense matrices
Sparse Lasso done in 0.191629s
Dense Lasso done in 0.055217s
Distance between coefficients : 1.0054870144020999e-13
--- Sparse matrices
