1. Move common test infrastructure into test_util.
2. system_test now only contains powells function.
3. Add bundle_adjustment_test.
Instead of a single function which computes everything,
there is now a test for each solver configuration which
uses the reference solution computed by the fixture.

- Increasing the inline threshold results in very variable performance
improvements, and could potentially confuse users if they are trying
to set the inline threshold themselves.
- As such, we no longer export our inline threshold configuration for
Clang, but instead document how to change it in the FAQs.

The test for CompressedRowSparseMatrix::AppendRows tries to add
a matrix of size zero, which results in an invalid pointer deferencing
even though that pointer is never written to.

The outer product computation logic in SparseNormalCholeskySolver
does not work well with dynamic sparsity. The overhead of computing
the sparsity pattern of the normal equations is only amortized if
the sparsity is constant. If the sparsity can change from call to call
SparseNormalCholeskySolver will actually be more expensive.
For Eigen and for CXSparse we now explicitly compute the normal
equations using their respective matrix-matrix product routines and solve.

- When compiled with Clang, Ceres and all of the examples are compiled
with an increased inlining-threshold, as the default value can result
in poor Eigen performance.
- Previously, client code using Ceres would typically not use an
increased inlining-threshold (unless the user has specifically added
it themselves). However, increasing the inlining threshold can result
in significant performance improvements in auto-diffed CostFunctions.
- This patch adds the inlining-threshold flags to the interface flags
for the Ceres CMake target s/t any client code using Ceres (via
CMake), and compiled with Clang, will now be compiled with the same
increased inlining threshold as used by Ceres itself.

This method numerically computes function derivatives in different
scales, extrapolating between intermediate results to conserve function
evaluations. Adaptive differentiation is essential to produce accurate
results for functions with noisy derivatives.
Full changelist:
-Created a new type of NumericDiffMethod (RIDDERS).
-Implemented EvaluateRiddersJacobianColumn in NumericDiff.
-Created unit tests with f(x) = x^2 + [random noise] and
f(x) = exp(x).

- Previously, when Ceres was built as a static library we did not
compile position independent code. This means that the resulting
static library could not be linked against shared libraries, but
could be used by executables.
- To enable the use of a static Ceres library by other shared libraries
as reported in [1], the static library must be generated from
position independent code (except on Windows, where PIC does not
apply).

The logic for determing static/dynamic f-block size in
DetectStructure was broken in a corner case, where the very first
row block which was used to initialize the f_block_size contained
more than one f blocks of varying sizes. The way the if block
was structured, no iteration was performed on the remaining
f-blocks and the loop failed to detect that the f-block size
was actually changing.
If in the remaining row blocks, there were no row blocks
with varying f-block sizes, the function will erroneously
return a static f-block size.
Thanks to Johannes Schonberger for providing a reproduction for this
rather tricky corner case.

The schur eliminator treats rows with e blocks and row with
no e blocks separately. The template specialization logic only
applies to the rows with e blocks.
So, in cases where the rows with e-blocks have a fixed size f-block
but the rows without e-blocks have f-blocks of varying sizes,
DetectStructure will return a static f-block size, but we need to be
careful that we do not blindly use that static f-block size everywhere.
This patch fixes a bug where such care was not being taken, where
it was assumed that the static f-block size could be assumed for all
f-block sizes.
A new test is added, which triggers an exception in debug mode. In
release mode this error does not present itself, due to a peculiarity
of the way Eigen works.
Thanks to Werner Trobin for reporting this bug.

When the user provides an ordering which starts at a non-zero group id,
or has gaps in the groups, then CAMD, the algorithm used to reorder
the program can crash or return garbage results.
The solution is to map the ordering into grouping constraints, and then
to re-number the groups to be contiguous using a call to
MapValuesToContiguousRange. This was already done for CAMD based
ordering for Schur type solvers, but was not done for SPARSE_NORMAL_CHOLESKY.
Thanks to Bernhard Zeisl for not only reporting the bug but also
providing a reproduction.

it is not correctly displayed in the ncurses CMake GUI.
- Made explicit in description that this results in an LGPL licensed
version of Ceres (this is also made clear in the CMake log output if
EIGENSPARSE is enabled).

- Before the new CMake buildsystem in 1.8, Ceres used non-standard
HINTS variables for dependencies. For backwards compatibility CMake
macros were added to translate these legacy variables into the new
(standard) variables.
- As it has now been multiple releases since the legacy variables
were used and they no longer appear in any of the documentation
support for them has now expired.

- gflags <= 2.1.2 has a bug in its exported gflags-config.cmake:
https://github.com/gflags/gflags/issues/110 whereby it sets
gflags_LIBRARIES to a non-existent 'gflags' target.
- This causes linker errors if gflags is installed in a non-standard
location (as otherwise CMake resolves gflags to -lgflags which
links if gflags is installed somewhere on the current path).
- We now check for this case, and search for the correct gflags imported
target and update gflags_LIBRARIES to reference it if found, otherwise
proceed on to the original manual search to try to find gflags.

1. Push the boundary handling logic into the underlying array
object. This has two very significant impacts:
a. The interpolation code becomes extremely simple to write
and to test.
b. The user has more flexibility in implementing how out of bounds
values are handled. We provide one default implementation.

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.

- Split out gflags namespace detection methods:
check_cxx_source_compiles() & regex, into separate functions.
- Use installed/exported gflags CMake configuration (present for
versions >= 2.1) if available, unless user expresses a preference not
to, or specifies search directories, in which case fall back to manual
search for components.
-- Prefer installed gflags CMake configurations over exported gflags
build directories on all OSs.
- Remove custom version of check_cxx_source_compiles() that attempted
to force the build type of the test project. This only worked for
NMake on Windows, not MSVC as msbuild ignored our attempts to force
the build type. Now we always use the regex method on Windows if
we cannot find an installed gflags CMake configuration which works
even on MSVC by bypassing msbuild.
- Add default search paths for gflags on Windows.

- Eigen/SparseCore is required by covariance_impl, this was added in
v 3.1.0 of Eigen, and thus without at least this version Ceres will
not compile.
- Note that Ubuntu 12.04 provides only version 3.0.5 in the mainline
repository.
- Update docs to match CMake check for Eigen >= 3.2.2 to avoid warning
about reduced sparse performance.

- On at least some compilers, -std=c++11 is required in order to compile
against std::shared_ptr & std::unordered_map, which resulted in our
checks failing to find them and using the TR1 versions instead, which
causes conflicts for users using C++11.
- Now, if the compiler supports it and the user enables the CXX11
option, we explicitly enable C++11 before searching for shared_ptr &
unordered_map, which means we should always find the C++11 versions
if they are available.
- As use of CXX11 results in a version of Ceres that must be used with
-std=c++11 for GCC & Clang, we roll this into the Ceres target when
the version of CMake supports this, otherwise we warn the user they
will have to do this themselves.
- CXX11 is OFF by default, to ensure that the behaviour of Ceres is
unchanged from before.

This adds a new wrapper class called DynamicCostFunctionToFunctor
that closes a gap in the current API: the existing
CostFunctionToFunctor can only be used with a SizedCostFunction, where
the number and sizes of all parameter vectors are known at compile-time.
The DynamicCostFunctionToFunctor allows you to wrap a generic
CostFunction into a templated functor which can then be used in a
DynamicAutoDiffCostFunction.
Also updates the existing CostFunctionToFunctor class to internally use
DynamicCostFunctionToFunctor.
