Sameer Agarwal 14d8297cf9 Refactor Covariance::Options::algorithm_type.
THIS IS AN API BREAKING CHANGE.

Decouple the algorithm from the sparse linear algebra
library being used to perform the computation.

Before this change

Covariance::AlgorithmType had values

DENSE_SVD
EIGEN_SPARSE_QR
SUITE_SPARSE_QR

This has been replaced by two enums now.

Covariance::Options::sparse_linear_algebra_library_type
which can take values EIGEN_SPARSE, SUITE_SPARSE or CX_SPARSE.
The last one is currently not supported.

And Covariance::Options::algorithm_type takes values

DENSE_SVD
SPARSE_QR

This sets the stage for future extensions of the covariance
computation algorithm.

Also as part of this change, the covariance computation chapter
has been made a top level chapter on its own instead of being
buried deep inside the Solving Non-linear Least Squares problem.

Ceres Solver

Ceres Solver is an open source C++ library for modeling and solving large, complicated optimization problems. It is a feature rich, mature and performant library which has been used in production at Google since 2010. Ceres Solver can solve two kinds of problems.

  1. Non-linear Least Squares problems with bounds constraints.
  2. General unconstrained optimization problems.

Please see ceres-solver.org for more information.
