Sameer Agarwal 42a84b87fa Expand reporting of timing information.
1. Add an ExecutionSummary object to record execution
   information about Ceres objects.
2. Add an EventLogger object to log events in a function call.
3. Add a ScopedExecutionTimer object to log times in ExecutionSummary.
4. Instrument ProgramEvaluator and all the linear solvers
   to report their timing statistics.
5. Connect the timing statistics to Summary::FullReport.
6. Add high precision timer on unix systems using
   gettimeofday() call.
7. Various minor clean ups all around.

Sameer Agarwal 31432aeec4 Fix an initialization bug in ProgramEvaluator.
The buffers used to store the per thread value of the gradient
were not set to zero at the beginning of each call to evaluate.

Sameer Agarwal 9123e2f624 An implementation of Ruhe & Wedin's Algorithm II.
A non-linear generalization of Ruhe & Wedin's algorithm
for separable non-linear least squares problem. It is implemented
as coordinate descent on an independent subset of the parameter
blocks at the end of every successful Newton step. The resulting
algorithm has much improved convergence at the cost of some
execution time.

Keir Mierle f44907f702 Compute the gradient if requested in the evaluator
This extends the Evaluator interface to support evaluating the
gradient in addition to the residuals and jacobian, if requested.

   bool Evaluate(const double* state,
                 double* cost,
                 double* residuals,
                 double* gradient,  <----------- NEW
                 SparseMatrix* jacobian) = 0;

The ProgramEvaluator is extended to support the new gradient
evaluation. This required some gymnastics around the block
evaluate preparer, which now contains a scratch evaluate preparer
for the case that no jacobian is requested but the gradient is.

Gradient evaluation is a prerequisite for the planned suite of
first order methods, including nonlinear conjugate gradient,
CG_DESCENT, L-BFGS, trust region with line search, and more.

This also considerably refactors the evaluator_test to make it
shorter and check the results for all combinations of the optional
parameters [residuals, gradient, jacobian].

Sameer Agarwal 319ef465e2 1. Zero out the residuals vector before it is used.
2. explicit comparison with NULL for jacobian and residuals pointers.
