1. Add abseil-cpp as a submodule. We are tracking the latest LTS
release, which is lts_2024_01_16.
2. Replace glog/gflags with absl::log and absl::flags.
3. Remove miniglog
4. Also take a whack at making the bazel build work with
abseil-cpp and gtest.
There are a number of TODOs in this CL that still need to be resolved.

As pointed out by several users, introduction of parallel operations on
vectors severely impacts solver performance on small problems, with time
consumption increasing with the number of threads.
In order to minimize overhead of trying to execute small tasks using a
large number of threads, task scheduling mechanism was changed to avoid
scheduling all tasks at once.
However, there is still a large difference in exectuion time because the
main thread always launches the next thread before starting doing the
work. This leads to several orders of magnitude slowdown when going from
a single-threaded execution (which follows a fast-forward path to a
single loop over all indices, without any synchronization involved)
to a two-thread execution:

-------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time
-------------------------------------------
SetZero/128 12.8 ns
SetZeroParallel/128/1 16.6 ns
SetZeroParallel/128/2 2211 ns
In order to eliminate this effect, we limit the block-size of parallel
execution of vector operations to 2^16 elements (thus, starting parallel
execution only for vectors of at least 2^17 elements).
Threshold of 2^16 elements was choosen by evaluating thresholds from
2^10 to 2^20 (only powers of 2), with 2^14..2^20 significantly reducing
worst-case runtime degradation.

1. Add a version history
2. Update copyright years across the code base
3. Run format_all.sh
4. Update version strings from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 in the docs and
elsewhere.

Main focus of this change is to parallelize remaining operations (most of them
are operations on vectors) in code-path utilized with iterative Schur
complement.
Parallelization is handled using lazy evaluation of Eigen expressions.
On linux pc with intel 8176 processor parallelization of vector operations has
the following effect:
