Currently, the logic for exporting symbols is rather complicated: when
tests are enabled internal symbols are exported in addition to the
public symbols. Such logic causes several problems. (1) Test binaries
link against a Ceres build that is different from the final release
since fewer optimizations are applied if more symbols are exported. (2)
Also, some toolchains hide symbols by default breaking the existing
logic eventually causing linker errors.
Since internal symbols are not intended to be used outside of the
project, we can compile them into object files and use exactly the same
binary code both for the final build and the tests without relying on
conditionals.
By default, all symbols are now hidden unless annotated as public.
Internal symbols are explicitly marked as not being exported in case
users chose not to hide symbols by default.

- Change formatting standard to Cpp11. Main difference is not having
the space between two closing >> for nested templates. We don't
choose c++14, because older versions of clang-format (version 9
and earlier) don't know this value yet, and it doesn't make a
difference in the formatting.
- Apply clang-format to all (non generated) internal source files.
- Manually fix some code sections (clang-format on/off) and c-strings
- Exclude some embedded external files with very different formatting
(gtest/gmock)
- Add script to format all source files

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.

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.

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.
