Calculates the rotation matrix that aligns a vector to another
This function calculates rotation matrix that aligns a vector to another.
function R=Rotation(a,b)
where:
a and b are (3*1) vectors
R is (3*3) rotation matrix that aligns vector a to b so that: the normalized vector of b equals R multiplied by the normalized vector of a
