Sameer Agarwal 17dccef91b Add NumericDiffFirstOrderFunction
This has been a long requested feature so that users can minimize
functions using numeric differentiation.

As part of this, I have also redone rosenbrock.cc, which now has three
variants.

rosenbrock.cc now uses automatic differentiation.
rosenbrock_numeric_diff.cc uses numeric differentiation.
rosenbrock_analytic_diff.cc uses analytic derivatives.

This is analogus to how the helloworld example code is structured.

The tutorial for GradientProblemSolver has also been updated to reflect
this.

Nikolaus Demmel 7b6b2491cc fix formatting for examples
This is mostly just applying the existing clang format config, except:
- Use NOLINT on overlong comment lines.
- Wrap some sections in 'clang-format off' / 'clang format on'.
- Manually split or join some multi-line strings.

Keir Mierle 7492b0d8de Update copyright headers with new year and URL
Since Ceres is moving to using GitHub for issues, and the Google
Code URL in the current copyright header will soon become invalid,
update all the headers.

Sameer Agarwal 092b94970a Add GradientProblem and GradientProblemSolver.
The line search minimizer in Ceres does not require that the
problems that is solving is a sum of squares. Over the past
year there have been multiple requests to expose this algorithm
on its own so that it can be used to solve unconstrained
non-linear minimization problems on its own.

With this change, a new optimization problem called
GradientProblem is introduced which is basically a thin
wrapper around a user defined functor that evaluates cost
and gradients (FirstOrderFunction) and an optional LocalParameterization.

Corresponding to it, a GradientProblemSolver and its associated
options and summary structs are introduced too.

An example that uses the new API to find the minimum of Rosenbrock's
function is also added.
