Previously these classes in analogy with ceres::Problem's interface
had interfaces to allow bare pointers as well as unique_ptrs. This
CL changes the API to always use unique_ptr, this is less error prone
and makes the default ownership semantics clearer.

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.

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.

This brings it in line with other manifolds like SphereManifold
and LineManifold, where the user has the choice to specify the size
of the manifold at compile time or runtime.
Most of the time the size is known at compile time so this will
speed up the common case.

Manifolds are now part of the public API and co-exist
with LocalParameterizations.
1. Add Manifolds to the Problem API.
a. AddParameterBlock(double*, int, Manifold*)
b. SetParameterization(double*, Manifold*)
b. GetManifold(const double*)
c. HasManifold(const double*)
2. Internally Ceres now only uses Manifolds. When the user uses
a LocalParameterization, it is wrapped in a ManifoldAdapter.
3. To preserve the API semantics while keeping the internals clean
we need a new map in ProblemImpl which stores the association
between parameter blocks and local parameterizations. This
is temporary, it will go away once this transition is complete.
4. There are NO algorithmic changes, as in we are not using
any of the expanded interface of the Manifold objects yet.
That will come later.
5. All tests that use LocalParameterization have been duplicated
to use Manifolds, and when this transition is complete the
LocalParameterization based tests will be deleted.
6. Public documentation for the API has been updated. Deprecation
notices to the documentation as well as C++ annotations will come
later.
7. Similar changes have been made to GradientProblem.

- Change formatting standard to Cpp11. Main difference is not having
the space between two closing >> for nested templates. We don't
choose c++14, because older versions of clang-format (version 9
and earlier) don't know this value yet, and it doesn't make a
difference in the formatting.
- Apply clang-format to all (non generated) internal source files.
- Manually fix some code sections (clang-format on/off) and c-strings
- Exclude some embedded external files with very different formatting
(gtest/gmock)
- Add script to format all source files

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.
