Base Gaussian State dm doesn't preserve locality dimensions

[aplund]

Before posting a bug report

• [X] I have searched exisisting GitHub issues to make sure the issue does not already exist.

Expected behavior

BaseGaussianState.dm() doesn't preserve locality dimensions. The Fock basis backend and Gaussian backend should give the same results.

Actual behavior

state.dm() gives gives only 2 dimensional matricies. The Fock basis state gives a multi-index object depending on the number of modes.

Reproduces how often

Always
