1. Add Solver::Options::use_mixed_precision_solves,
and Solver::Options::max_num_refinement_iterations.
2. Make SparseCholesky::Create return a unique_ptr.
3. SparseCholesky::Create now takes LinearSolver::Options
as an argument.
4. IterativeRefiner's constructor does not require num_cols
as an argument.
5. SparseNormalCholeskySolver now uses a separate rhs vector.
This basic implementation results in a 10% reduction in solver time
and 30% reduction in linear solver memory usage.

1. Solver::Options::num_threads now controls parallelism in Ceres
Solver. The user specified value of
Solver::Options::num_linear_solver_threads is ignored.
2. If the user specifies Solver::Options::num_linear_solver_threads
and it is different from Solver::Options::num_threads,
a warning is printed.
3. Solver::Summary:num_linear_solver_threads_given and
Solver::Summary::num_linear_solver_threads_used are also
deprecated and are always set to Solver::Summary::num_threads_given
and Solver::Summary::num_threads_used.

1. Default linear solver is Eigen::LDLT
2. Options::max_iterations -> Options::max_num_iterations
3. Options::error_threshold -> Options::cost_threshold
4. Options::relative_step_threshold -> Options::parameter_threshold
5. Options::initial_scale_factor -> Options::initial_trust_region_radius
6. The default values of the above parameters have been changed
to match those in ceres::Solver::Options
7. Status::RUNNING has been removed
8. Update now returns a bool instead of a Status enum and
the status handling has been included in the main loop.
9. Summary::gradient_norm has been changed to Summary::gradient_max_norm
to match the convergence test
10. A member variable cost_ has been added which is computed by Update
11. The test for parameter_tolerance based convergence is made
more robust near zero.
12. Use of double has been replaced by Scalar.
13. Minor clang-formatting

Binary operations between Jets and doubles are well defined
and should not require an explicit conversion to Jets to work.
This was an oversight earlier and lead to overzealous conversions
all over our in our example code.

- Previously we were not listing gflags as a public dependency of Ceres
if it and glog were found (and MINIGLOG was not being used). This
does not reflect that if glog was compiled with gflags then it will
#include gflags/gflags.h in glog/logging.h, thus making gflags a
public dependency of anything linking against glog.
- On *nix OSs if glog/gflags are shared libraries this did not result
in a link error when compiling Ceres as the gflags symbols were
indirectly resolved. However, on MSVC this is not the case, and this
could result in unresolved gflags symbol link errors when compiling
Ceres.
- Now we add gflags to the list of public Ceres dependencies if both
glog and gflags are found (and MINIGLOG is not enabled).

Previously, when using a quaternion to parameterize the camera
orientation, the camera parameter block was split into two
parameter blocks. One for the rotation and another for the
translation and intrinsics. This was to enable the use of the
Quaternion parameterization.
Now that we have a ProductParameterization which allows us
to compose multiple parameterizations, this is no longer needed
and we use a size 10 parameter block instead.
This leads to a more than 2x improvements in the linear solver time.

This method numerically computes function derivatives in different
scales, extrapolating between intermediate results to conserve function
evaluations. Adaptive differentiation is essential to produce accurate
results for functions with noisy derivatives.
Full changelist:
-Created a new type of NumericDiffMethod (RIDDERS).
-Implemented EvaluateRiddersJacobianColumn in NumericDiff.
-Created unit tests with f(x) = x^2 + [random noise] and
f(x) = exp(x).

- Updated to new CMake style where function names are all lowercase,
this will be backwards compatible as CMake function names are
case insensitive.
- Updated using Emacs' M-x unscreamify-cmake-buffer.

1. Push the boundary handling logic into the underlying array
object. This has two very significant impacts:
a. The interpolation code becomes extremely simple to write
and to test.
b. The user has more flexibility in implementing how out of bounds
values are handled. We provide one default implementation.

- On at least some compilers, -std=c++11 is required in order to compile
against std::shared_ptr & std::unordered_map, which resulted in our
checks failing to find them and using the TR1 versions instead, which
causes conflicts for users using C++11.
- Now, if the compiler supports it and the user enables the CXX11
option, we explicitly enable C++11 before searching for shared_ptr &
unordered_map, which means we should always find the C++11 versions
if they are available.
- As use of CXX11 results in a version of Ceres that must be used with
-std=c++11 for GCC & Clang, we roll this into the Ceres target when
the version of CMake supports this, otherwise we warn the user they
will have to do this themselves.
- CXX11 is OFF by default, to ensure that the behaviour of Ceres is
unchanged from before.

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.

Example code demonstrates how a sampled function can be
minimized. Also, in the process uncovered some deficiencies

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.

- If compiling without glog (but with gflags) on OSX, unistd.h is
required for close() et al, when using glog this was pulled in
indirectly.

- At version 2.1, gflags changed from using the google namespace, to
using gflags by default. However, it can be configured at build time
to be something else (which would be google for legacy compatibility
unless you were evil).
- Ceres previously assumed that gflags was in the google namespace.
- Now, FindGFlags.cmake extracts the namespace when gflags.h is found
and saves it in GFLAGS_NAMESPACE.
- When building the tests and examples that require gflags,
CERES_GFLAGS_NAMESPACE is defined to be the detected namespace, and
all tests/examples now use CERES_GFLAGS_NAMESPACE:: instead of
google:: when calling gflags functions.
