Summary: EnhancedBlackScholesProcess that supports vega stresstests

Initial Comment:
This BlackScholes Process takes 5 extra arguments which define a square of the local volatility surface that is stressed by a configurable stress-level.

You can also use this process for local vol curve stress tests. The solution is quite easy but very very helpful. I did lots of testing on it and it works perfectly. Especially for examining where (what moneyness and what time bucket) the vega sensitivities are at path dependent asian options you can do wonderful stresstests with monte carlo.  This is because it is not always wanted to stress the implied surface (since this could cause smoothness problems), but also to stress the local volatility surface. There is no other option to do this so far. That is why i developed this process.

Check it out. I can also provide some test cases that demonstrate the tremendous usefulness of this process.

Greetings,
Michael
