This change restructures the `TinySolver` template and its associated
adapters (`AutoDiff` and `CostFunction`) to make maximum sizing
attributes first-class parameters. This enables the entire `TinySolver`
stack to be used in restricted environments (e.g., small MCUs) without
dynamic memory allocation, even when the number of residuals or
parameters is only known at runtime (`Eigen::Dynamic`).
Specifically:
- Adds `kMaxResiduals` and `kMaxParameters` template parameters to
`TinySolver`.
- Updated `TinySolverAutoDiffFunction` and
`TinySolverCostFunctionAdapter` to support optional maximum size
template parameters for their internal buffers.
- The new API maintains backward compatibility for existing users by
defaulting to the sizes defined in the `Function`'s enums.
- This structure also supports reducing code bloat by allowing
`TinySolver` to be instantiated with an abstract base class, using
dynamic dispatch for cost function evaluation.
New test cases for `TinySolver` and its adapters verify the
zero-allocation behavior and the unified API flexibility.

1. Add abseil-cpp as a submodule. We are tracking the latest LTS
release, which is lts_2024_01_16.
2. Replace glog/gflags with absl::log and absl::flags.
3. Remove miniglog
4. Also take a whack at making the bazel build work with
abseil-cpp and gtest.
There are a number of TODOs in this CL that still need to be resolved.

For proper alignment on the heap Eigen needs to have a custom
allocator. There are two forms, new and in-place new. To make sure
that memory is aligned using new, one needs to overload new by
adding EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW to any struct which contains a
fixed size Eigen type either through inheritance or as a direct or
indirect member. For the in-place new one need to use the
Eigen::aligned_allocator (e.g. for std::vector, std::list,
FixedArray, etc.). For more details see:
https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__DenseMatrixManipulation__Alignement.html
This CL adds EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW to all structs, which
contain fixed-size Eigen types and uses the Eigen::aligned_allocator
for containers which stores structs of fixed-size Eigen types.

- When compiling Ceres without C++11 but with glog, then the unnamed
enum results in a compiler warning when
google::GetReferenceableValue(.) is invoked with the unnamed enum as a
template parameter (unnamed-type-template-args) which was not legal
prior to C++11.
