The latest Bazel releases have deprecated Bazel-native
"http_archive()" directive in favor of a Skylark version.
This updates the WORKSPACE to use the new format, as well
as removing the Eigen BUILD in favor of a string in the
WORKSPACE.

- In light of the C++11 threads threading option this is no longer
necessary for cross-platform threading support and did not offer a
noticeable performance gain over either the C++11 threads
implementation or OpenMP.

1. Remove defines which are not used anymore.
2. Enable CXX11 threading.
3. Enable EIGEN_SPARSE by default.

With the addition of C++11 support we can simplify the parallel for code by
removing the ifdef branching. Converts coordinate_descent_minimizer.cc to use
the thread_id ParallelFor API.
Tested by building with OpenMP, C++11 threads, TBB, and no threads. All tests
pass.
Also compared timing via the bundle adjuster.

Covariance computation wants to do a triangular iteration but as a
single loop. Right now it iterates over a square and does nothing half
the time, which is inefficient and has bad worst-case threading
performance. This adds a utility that allows waste-free linear iteration
over a triangle.

Implements ParallelFor using the C++11 based ThreadPool. The C++11
parallel for is 50-70% faster than single threaded, and 20-30% slower
than TBB.
Tested by compiling with OpenMP, TBB, and C++11 Threading support and
ran the unit tests. Ran bazel as well.

A Ceres Context holds common global state that can be re-used within
Ceres. The Context current contains a thread pool if compiling with
C++11 threading support. Threads are expensive to create and destroy so
it is good to maintain across multiple Ceres solves.
Tested by compiling with and without TBB support and ran unit tests. Ran
bazel as well.

Change 12060 added parallel_for_tbb.cc and parallel_for_test.cc but did not add
it to the bazel build rule.
Tested by running bazel tests.

This is in preparation for adding support for a C++11 based parallel
for implementation. The code is behind CERES_USE_CXX11_THREADS which
is not exposed to the user yet.
Tested by building with and without CERES_USE_CXX11_THREADS defined
and the tests pass.

The key idea being, use some subset of the rows of the Jacobian
as the preconditioner.
This CL only implements the preconditioner assuming that the row
selection has already been done. How the rows are selected will be
left to the user based on their knowledge of the problem.
A follow up CL will hook this preconditioner into the rest of the
solver.

This doesn't add any configurability to ceres_library() yet, but it
does correctly determine the include path for use with -I, allowing
this to be used as a dependency from other workspaces.
