1. Replace CERES_DISALLOW_* with explicitly deleted constructors.
2. Replace use of CERES_ARRAY_SIZE and stack allocated arrays
with std::vector.
3. Move CERES_ALIGN_* macros into manual_constructor.h, which is
the one place they are used and will be deprecated along with that
file.
4. Introduce isnan,isnormal,isinf and isfinite for Jets.
5. Replace IsNormal,IsFinite,IsNaN and IsInfinite with corresponding
c++11 function calls.

Migrate all Option and Summary structs to use
inline member initialization syntax.
This reduces the amount of code, and collocates the
default values with the documentation for the corresponding
member variable.

The non-linear least squares solver had the ability to update the
user's parameters every iteration. Now GradientProblemSolver can
do the same.
Also a few minor Sphinx markup related cleanup to the documentation
which were found in the process of updating Sphinx on my machine
and adding the docs for this feature.
This fixes https://github.com/ceres-solver/ceres-solver/issues/246

1. Fix a bug which was causing the cost and gradient evaluation
time to not be reported.
2. Add the number of times cost and gradients are evaluated to
the Summary object and to the output of FullReport.

Support for parameter tolerance was added to the line search
minimizer was added a while ago, and calling Solve on a
non-linear least squares problem supported it but for some reason
the GradientProblemSolver::Options struct was missing this
option even though the documentation suggested that it was present!
Thanks to Noah Snavely for reporting this bug.

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.

For historical reasons we had a "using namespace std;" in port.h. This
is generally a bad idea. So removing it and along the way doing a bunch
of cpplint cleanup.

- We now compute & report the cumulative time spent performing the
following tasks as part of a line search:
- Evaluation of the univariate cost function value & gradient.
- Minimization of the interpolating polynomial.
- Total time spent performing line searches.
- This information is now reported for all minimizers, although only in
the case of a constrained problem for the TR minimizer.
- Remove LineSearch::Function abstraction in place of using
LineSearchFunction implementation directly, and remove virtual
functions from LineSearchFunction.
-- LineSearch::Function added an unnecessary level of abstraction since
the user always had to create a LineSearchFunction anyway to use a
Ceres Evaluator, and it added an unncessary virtual function call.

1. Complete restructuring of the documentation to account for
GradientProblemSolver.
2. Update the version history to account for changes since 1.9.0.
3. Add links and document the various examples that ship with ceres.
4. Documentation for GradientProblem 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.
