1. Add EigenDenseQR & tests.
This implementation now uses an in place decomposition,
which means that we are not allocating, deallocating
memory every call.
2. Add LAPACKDenseQR and tests.
The LAPACK implementation instead of using dgels which is a
routine which does the factorization and solve in one
call, now uses dgeqrf for factorization and then
dormqr and dtrtrs for solving. This allows us to
have a factorize and solve interface like DenseCholesky.
And opens the door to iterative refinement and mixed
precision solves.
3. The refactor also allows us to simplify the interface to
DenseSparseMatrix considerably. The internals of this
class were complicated because we had the AppendDiagonal
and RemoveDiagonal methods and we did not want to allocate
deallocate memory every call. But since we pay the cost
of the copy anyways, we can just hold that buffer
in DenseQRSolver.
4. Delete lapack.cc/h
5. The net result is that everything seems to be a bit faster.
For LAPACK we are not doing some of the scaling work that
dgels was doing. For Eigen I think it maybe the inplace
decomposition.

Like SparseCholesky, the DenseCholesky interface abstracts
away the solution of dense linear systems using Cholesky factorization.
This allows the client code to not worry about the type of dense
linear algebra library being used.
DenseNormalCholeskySolver and DenseSchurComplementSolver code
is considerably simpler as a result.

- 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

Eigen upstream was broken a little while ago, and it seemed to be
the case that we needed a fix for using the LLT factorization on
ARM.
This has been fixed and AFAIK there are no stable eigen releases
with this bug in it.
For full gore, see
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=992
In light of the fix, the extra layer of indirection introduced earlier
is not needed and we are reverting to normal programming.

It seems that Eigen's LLT factorization is broken on ARM.
This patch enables the use of LDLT factorization instead of LLT
factorization. The switch is controlled at compile time using a
preprocessor define - CERES_USE_EIGEN_LDLT.
By default we continue to use LLT factorization though.
To make the switching easier without introducing the Cholesky factorization
based inversion and linear system solve routines have been abstracted into
two new functions.
Android.mk has been updated to enable the LDLT factorization, but
the cmake file has not been updated as I will leave it to Alex's
capable hands to do proper detection of ARM as a target platform.

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.

A lot of error checking cruft has accumulated over the years
in the various linear solvers. This change makes the error reporting
more robust and consistent across the various solvers.
Preconditioners are not covered by this change and will be the
subject of a future change.

1. When a LAPACK implementation is present, then
DENSE_QR, DENSE_NORMAL_CHOLESKY and DENSE_SCHUR
can use it for doing dense linear algebra operations.
2. The user can switch dense linear algebra libraries
by setting Solver::Options::dense_linear_algebra_library_type.
3. Solver::Options::sparse_linear_algebra_library is now
Solver::Options::sparse_linear_algebra_library_type to be consistent
with all the other enums in Solver::Options.
4. Updated documentation as well as Solver::Summary::FullReport
to reflect these changes.

colPivHouseholderQR -> householderQR
ldlt -> llt.
The resulting performance differences are significant enough
to justify switching.
LAPACK's dgels routine used for solving linear least squares
problems does not use pivoting either.
Similarly, we are not actually using the fact that the matrix
being factorized can be indefinite when using LDLT factorization, so
its not clear that the performance hit is worth it.
These two changes result in Eigen being able to use blocking
algorithms, which for Cholesky factorization, brings the performance
closer to hardware optimized LAPACK. Similarly for dense QR
factorization, on intel there is a 2x speedup.

1. Introduce new typdefs in eigen.h to allow for column
major matrices.
2. Clean up old unused typedefs, and the aligned typedefs
since they do not actually add any real performance.
3. Made eigen.h conform to the google style guide by removing
the using directives. They were polluting the ceres namespace.
4. Made the template specialization generator work again.

1. Add an ExecutionSummary object to record execution
information about Ceres objects.
2. Add an EventLogger object to log events in a function call.
3. Add a ScopedExecutionTimer object to log times in ExecutionSummary.
4. Instrument ProgramEvaluator and all the linear solvers
to report their timing statistics.
5. Connect the timing statistics to Summary::FullReport.
6. Add high precision timer on unix systems using
gettimeofday() call.
7. Various minor clean ups all around.

For problems with a small number of variables, but a large
number of residuals, it is sometimes beneficial to use the
Cholesky factorization on the normal equations, instead of
the dense QR factorization of the Jacobian, even though it
is numerically the better thing to do.
