This introduces a simple C API for a subset of Ceres. This opens the door to
using languages like Python to call Ceres, since it is much easier to bind to C
than it is to bind to C++. It will mean giving up the native Ceres autodiff.
The implementation in this patch does not attempt to do everything but is only
just enough to get started. Subsequent patches will increase the surface area
of Ceres that is covered by the C API.

Updated the value of the version of cmake needed to build
ceres. Since the way booleans and literals are handled has changed
recently.

2. Corrected a number of typos and reorganized the CMakefile to handle the corner cases better.
3. Moved the various search paths to the top of the CMakefile so that they are more easily accessible.
4. Tests that depend on gflags are only built if gflags support is compiled in.
