    Compute the Jacobi preconditioner function for the matrix A.

    Parameters
    -----------
    A: np.array
        Input matrix to compute the Jacobi preconditioner for.

    ---------
    precondition_matvec: function
        Function which applies the Jacobi preconditioner to a vector

    Example
    -------

    >>> preconditioner = jacobi(A)
