Sameer Agarwal d9790e7789 Add ProductParameterization
Often a parameter block is the Cartesian product of a number of
manifolds. For example, a rigid transformation SE(3) = SO(3) x R^3
In such cases, where you have the local parameterization
of the individual manifolds available,
ProductParameterization can be used to construct a local
parameterization of the cartesian product.

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.

Alex Stewart 74762b6033 Allow construction of an AutoDiffLocalParameterization with a functor.
- Previously AutoDiffLocalParameterization would internally instantiate
  a functor instance whenever one was required.  This prohibits the
  user passing arguments to the constructor of the functor.
- Now AutoDiffLocalParameterization can take over ownership of an
  allocated functor which the user created.  This mimics the behaviour
  of AutoDiffCostFunction.

Sergey Sharybin eeedd3a592 Autodiff local parameterization class
This class is used to create local parameterization
with Jacobians computed via automatic differentiation.

To get an auto differentiated local parameterization,
class with a templated operator() (a functor) that
computes

 plus_delta = Plus(x, delta);

shall be defined.

Then given such functor, the auto differentiated local
parameterization can be constructed as

 LocalParameterization* local_parameterization =
   new AutoDiffLocalParameterization<PlusFunctor, 4, 3>;
                                                  |  |
                       Global Size ---------------+  |
                       Local Size -------------------+

See autodiff_local_parameterization.h for more information
and usage example.

Initial implementation by Keir Mierle, finished by self
and integrated into Ceres and covered with unit tests
by Sameer Agarwal.
