Use Eigen's much more complicated conversion routine
when we encounter cases where the angle of rotation is
close to Pi.
Along the way also fix the way angle_axis vectors are
compared by making the matcher more robust.
Thanks to Tobias Strauss for reporting this.

Its API was broken, and its implementation was an unnecessary
layer of abstraction over CostFunctionToFunctor.

Replace SolverImpl with
a. A minimizer specific preprocessor class.
b. A generic Solve function inside solver.cc
c. Presummarize and Postsummarize functions to handle
updates to the summary object.
The existing SolverImpl class was a mixture of the above three
things and was increasingly complicated code to follow. This change,
breaks it into its three separate constituents, with the aims of
better separation of concerns and thus better testability and
reliability.
The call to Solver::Solve() now consists of
1. Presummarize - summarize the given state of the problem and solver
options.
2. Preprocess - Setup everything that is needed to call the minimizer.
This includes, removing redundant parameter and residual blocks,
setting up the reordering for the linear solver, creating the
linear solver, evaluator, inner iteration minimizer etc.
3. Minimize.
4. Post summarize - summarize the result of the preprocessing and the
solve.

Sparse Cholesky factorization is not rank revealing. Therefore
this algorithm cannot reliably tell when the Jacobian matrix is
rank deficient or so poorly conditioned that the covariance matrix
cannot be estimated.
Making things worse, this algorithm works on the normal equations,
which makes the conditioning problem much worse.
This change, deletes the SPARSE_CHOLESKY algorithm in the covariance
estimation code. Also to make the naming consistent, it renames
SPARSE_QR -> SUITE_SPARSE_QR
so that it parallels EIGEN_SPARSE_QR.
Also, since we now have EIGEN_SPARSE_QR, we can default to using
it when SuiteSparse is not available instead of DENSE_SVD, which
generally speaking should only be used by folks who are dealing
with small rank deficient jacobians.

This reworks the Ceres Sphinx documentation such that it can
function as the main Ceres website, now hosted at
ceres-solver.org. This also changes to the theme sphinx_rtd_theme
used by Read The Docs; this theme has strong mobile support and is
well enough designed.

When the Schur complement is of size zero,
i.e. none of the parameter blocks interact
with each other, the ITERATIVE_SCHUR linear
solver crashes due to some checks that are
triggered in the SCHUR_JACOBI preconditioner.
This patch adds logic to detect this condition
and to deal with it and adds tests that verify
the fix.
Thanks to Soohyun Bae for reporting this bug.

1. Use CMake FindLAPACK and FindBLAS Modules.
2. Remove SEARCH_HEADERS and SEARCH_LIBS and replace them with
CMAKE variables. This leads to simplification of the FIND_LIBRARY
and FIND_PATH calls.
3. Make miniglog a fallback when glog is not present and the
user indicates MINIGLOG=OFF.
4. Add time.h to miniglog.
5. Remove shared library building.

A live version of the doc can be found at

As it stands, the documentation has better hyperlinking
and coverage than the latex documentation now.
