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.

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.
