Define the relation between the axis-angle representation of a rotation
and the corresponding unit quaternion as
q(𝐞) = cos(𝜃/2) + sin(𝜃/2)/𝜃·𝐞
where 𝐞 = 𝜃𝛚 is the rotation vector given by the rotation angle 𝜃 and
the unit axis of rotation 𝛚 instead of
q(𝐞) = cos(𝜃) + sin(𝜃)/𝜃·𝐞 .
This brings the former relation closer to the available functionality
provided by ceres/rotation.h.
Fixes#941

If arguments are passed to a cost function that can be used to construct
the functor, the latter will be instantiated by the cost function using
std::make_unique to ensure exception safety. This not only avoids static
analysis warnings caused by calling new but also spelling the cost
functor type name multiple times.
Also expand deduction guides for instantiating
Dynamic(Auto|Numeric)DiffCostFunction from std::unique_ptr enabled
constructor overloads.
Finally, make CostFunction default move constructible and assignable but
only through derived classes. This in turn allows derived classes to be
movable without relying on custom implementations of corresponding
operators.

In many cases, manifolds stored in ProductManifold have a default
constructor which can simplify ProductManifold initialization even
further. Allow default construction of ProductManifold in this case.

Since the number of manifolds used to initialize ProductManifold and
their types are known at compile-time, it is possible to avoid storing
pointers to the base class as required by a homogeneous, currently
dynamically sized container. Instead, we can use std::tuple<> as a
heterogenous container with the number of elements fixed at compile-time
that allows us to store the concrete manifold realizations.
The advantage of this approach is that we can bypass the vtable when
iterating over each manifold within ProductManifold. The indirection is
invoked only once while accessing the ProductManifoldImpl members.
Additionally, potential dynamic memory allocations by a std::vector can
be completely avoided. This makes the ProductManifold implementation
more efficient both in memory and runtime.

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.

Add [[deprecate]] notices to everything LocalParameterization
related.
Make sure that Ceres can be compiled without triggering
deprecation warnings.
Update the documentation:
a. Add deprecation notices.
b. Document interaction between LocalParameterization and Manifold
coexisting in the Problem.
c. Add documentation for Manifold(s)

1. Add a move constructor to NumericDiffCostFunction, DynamicAutoDiffCostfunction
and DynamicNumericDiffCostFunction.
2. Add optional ownership of the underlying functor.
3. Update docs to reflect this as well as the variadic templates that allow an
arbitrary number of parameter blocks.

Add Ownership semantics to the AutoDiffCostFunction
This allows several benefits, such as pointer ordering always being the
same for numerical repeatability (due to blocks being ordered by
pointer address), memory adjacency for better cache performance, and
reduced allocator pressure / overhead.
This is then made use of in libmv by preallocating the errors and
cost functions into vectors

Simplify the semantics for Problem::EvaluateResidualBlock to
not ignore the presence of EvaluationCallback and add another method
EvaluateResidualBlockAssumingParametersUnchanged to handle the case
where the user has an EvaluationCallback but knows that the parameter
blocks do not change between calls.
Updated the documentation for the methods and EvaluationCallback to
reflect these semantics.
Also added tests for Evaluation related methods calling i
EvaluationCallback when its present.

This CL adds a local parameterization for a n-dimensional
line, which is represented as an origin point and a direction.
The line direction is updated in the same way as a
homogeneous vector and the origin point is updated
perpendicular to the line direction.

When Solver::Options::check_gradients is true, Ceres internally
creates a new ProblemImpl object which wraps each CostFunction
in the user's problem with a GradientCheckingCostFunction.
Doing this also requires creating new ParameterBlock objects,
and when support for upper and lower bounds was added to Ceres,
CreateGradientCheckingProblemImpl should also have been updated
to create a problem with the same parameter bounds. As a result,
if check_gradients is enabled for a bounded problem, it constructs
an unconstrained problem and solves it.
This CL fixes this, by introducing Problem::GetParameterLowerBound,
and Problem::GetParameterUpperBound and using them to create a bounded
problem when checking gradients.
Thanks to @pbeeson for not only reporting this problem, but also
providing a small standalone reproduction which made debugging this
possible.

The non-linear least squares solver had the ability to update the
user's parameters every iteration. Now GradientProblemSolver can
do the same.
Also a few minor Sphinx markup related cleanup to the documentation
which were found in the process of updating Sphinx on my machine
and adding the docs for this feature.
