Sameer Agarwal 310a252fb6 Deal with infinite initial cost correctly. ...

Previously it could be the case that a residual block could return
a residual whose squared norm overflows and generates an infinity
which we did not detect. This would then lead to the trust region
minimizer incorrectly terminating indicating convergence while
generating a cost delta of NaN.

This change adds a check for that and also does two minor cosmetic
changes.

1. Reduce the level of nesting in program_evaluator.h by adding
   an early return.
2. The error message when IterationZero fails now says that the
   Initial residual and Jacobian failed, to indicate that the
   optimizer had no chance to do any work.

Thanks to @Ashray-g for reporting this.
