Sameer Agarwal 9814a91fcf Use C++11's inline member initialization syntax
Migrate all Option and Summary structs to use
inline member initialization syntax.

This reduces the amount of code, and collocates the
default values with the documentation for the corresponding
member variable.

Keir Mierle 7bdceb46cf Evaluation callback API
This adds a callback mechanism to for users to get notified just
before jacobian and residual evaluations. This will enable
aggressive caching and sharing of compute between cost functions.

Mike Vitus f408f89e8b Adds a Ceres Context structure.
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.

Mike Vitus c82dd50962 Removes two unimplemented class functions.
General clean up to the Ceres codebase to remove the functions
Evaluator::Evaluate and ProblemImpl::InternalEvaluate as they are unimplemented.

Keir Mierle 7492b0d8de Update copyright headers with new year and URL
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.

Sameer Agarwal bcc865f81c Remove using namespace std;
For historical reasons we had a "using namespace std;" in port.h. This
is generally a bad idea. So removing it and along the way doing a bunch
of cpplint cleanup.

Richard Stebbing 32530788d0 Add dynamic_sparsity option.
The standard sparse normal Cholesky solver assumes a fixed
sparsity pattern which is useful for a large number of problems
presented to Ceres. However, some problems are symbolically dense
but numerically sparse i.e. each residual is a function of a
large number of parameters but at any given state the residual
only depends on a sparse subset of them. For these class of
problems it is faster to re-analyse the sparsity pattern of the
jacobian at each iteration of the non-linear optimisation instead
of including all of the zero entries in the step computation.

The proposed solution adds the dynamic_sparsity option which can
be used with SPARSE_NORMAL_CHOLESKY. A
DynamicCompressedRowSparseMatrix type (which extends
CompressedRowSparseMatrix) has been introduced which allows
dynamic addition and removal of elements. A Finalize method is
provided which then consolidates the matrix so that it can be
used in place of a regular CompressedRowSparseMatrix. An
associated jacobian writer has also been provided.

Changes that were required to make this extension were adding the
SetMaxNumNonZeros method to CompressedRowSparseMatrix and adding
a JacobianFinalizer template parameter to the ProgramEvaluator.

1. Add an ExecutionSummary object to record execution
   information about Ceres objects.
2. Add an EventLogger object to log events in a function call.
3. Add a ScopedExecutionTimer object to log times in ExecutionSummary.
4. Instrument ProgramEvaluator and all the linear solvers
   to report their timing statistics.
5. Connect the timing statistics to Summary::FullReport.
6. Add high precision timer on unix systems using
   gettimeofday() call.
7. Various minor clean ups all around.

Sameer Agarwal bdd87c03ed Add an ExecutionSummary object that the Evaluator and LinearSolver can use to
report execution statistics of all kinds.

Currently a single map which maps arbitrary strings to doubles is supported,
which allows for precise timing information to be communicated.

Sameer Agarwal 4997cbc437 Return jacobians and gradients to the user.
1. Added CRSMatrix object which will store the initial
   and final jacobians if requested by the user.
2. Conversion routine and test for converting a
   CompressedRowSparseMatrix to CRSMatrix.
3. New Evaluator::Evaluate function to do the actual evaluation.
4. Changes to Program::StateVectorToParmeterBlocks and
   Program::SetParameterBlockStatePtrstoUserStatePtrs so that
   they do not try to set the state of constant parameter blocks.
5. Tests for Evaluator::Evaluate.
6. Minor cleanups in SolverImpl.
7. Minor cpplint cleanups triggered by this CL.

Keir Mierle f44907f702 Compute the gradient if requested in the evaluator
This extends the Evaluator interface to support evaluating the
gradient in addition to the residuals and jacobian, if requested.

   bool Evaluate(const double* state,
                 double* cost,
                 double* residuals,
                 double* gradient,  <----------- NEW
                 SparseMatrix* jacobian) = 0;

The ProgramEvaluator is extended to support the new gradient
evaluation. This required some gymnastics around the block
evaluate preparer, which now contains a scratch evaluate preparer
for the case that no jacobian is requested but the gradient is.

Gradient evaluation is a prerequisite for the planned suite of
first order methods, including nonlinear conjugate gradient,
CG_DESCENT, L-BFGS, trust region with line search, and more.

This also considerably refactors the evaluator_test to make it
shorter and check the results for all combinations of the optional
parameters [residuals, gradient, jacobian].
