#' @title matrixTransposeDS serverside assign function called by ds.matrixTranspose
#' @description Transposes a matrix A and writes the output to the serverside
#' @details Undertakes standard matrix transposition. This operation converts matrix
#' A to matrix C where element C[i,j] of matrix C equals element A[j,i] of matrix
#' A. Matrix A therefore has the same number of rows as matrix C has columns and
#' vice versa.
#' @param M1.name  A character string specifying the name of the matrix to be transposed
#' @return Output is the matrix representing the transpose of A which is written
#' to the serverside. For more details see help for ds.matrixTranspose
