[mate] = card_match(adj) constructs a (Non-weighted) maximum cardinality matching
on a graph represented by ADJ-acency matrix with edge IDs as elements
OUTPUT: mate(i) = j means edge (i,j)=(j,i) belongs to the matching.

REMARKs:
a vertex _v_ is called "outer" when there is an alternating path from _v_ to
an unmatched vertex _u_ that starts with a matched edge.

sample ADJ matrix for the following graph: (2)---(1)---(3)
1 2 3 4-edge(1,2)
1 0 4 5
2 4 0 0 5-edge(1,3)
3 5 0 0
we assume no isolated vertices and un-directed graph (symmetric ADJ)
