Sameer Agarwal 9189f4ea4b Enable pre-ordering for SPARSE_NORMAL_CHOLESKY.
Sparse Cholesky factorization algorithms use a fill-reducing
ordering to permute the columns of the Jacobian matrix. There
are two ways of doing this.

1. Compute the Jacobian matrix in some order and then have the
   factorization algorithm permute the columns of the Jacobian.

2. Compute the Jacobian with its columns already permuted.

The first option incurs a significant memory penalty. The
factorization algorithm has to make a copy of the permuted
Jacobian matrix.

Starting with this change Ceres pre-permutes the columns of the
Jacobian matrix and generally speaking, there is no performance
penalty for doing so.

In some rare cases, it is worth using a more complicated
reordering algorithm which has slightly better runtime
performance at the expense of an extra copy of the Jacobian
matrix. Setting Solver::Options::use_postordering to true
enables this tradeoff.

This change also removes Solver::Options::use_block_amd
as an option. All matrices are ordered using their block
structure. The ability to order them by their scalar
sparsity structure has been removed.

Here is what performance on looks like on some BAL problems.

//
// 1. The line search approach first finds a descent direction
// along which the objective function will be reduced and then
// computes a step size that decides how far should move along
// that direction. The descent direction can be computed by
// various methods, such as gradient descent, Newton's method and
// Quasi-Newton method. The step size can be determined either
// exactly or inexactly.
//
// 2. The trust region approach approximates the objective
// function using using a model function (often a quadratic) over
// a subset of the search space known as the trust region. If the
// model function succeeds in minimizing the true objective
// function the trust region is expanded; conversely, otherwise it
// is contracted and the model optimization problem is solved
// again.
//
// Trust region methods are in some sense dual to line search methods:
// trust region methods first choose a step size (the size of the
// trust region) and then a step direction while line search methods
// first choose a step direction and then a step size.

// The order in which variables are eliminated in a linear solver
// can have a significant of impact on the efficiency and accuracy
// of the method. e.g., when doing sparse Cholesky factorization,
// there are matrices for which a good ordering will give a
// Cholesky factor with O(n) storage, where as a bad ordering will
// result in an completely dense factor.
//
// Ceres allows the user to provide varying amounts of hints to
// the solver about the variable elimination ordering to use. This
// can range from no hints, where the solver is free to decide the
// best possible ordering based on the user's choices like the
// linear solver being used, to an exact order in which the
// variables should be eliminated, and a variety of possibilities
// in between.
//
// Instances of the ParameterBlockOrdering class are used to
// communicate this information to Ceres.
//
// Formally an ordering is an ordered partitioning of the
// parameter blocks, i.e, each parameter block belongs to exactly
// one group, and each group has a unique non-negative integer
// associated with it, that determines its order in the set of
// groups.
//
// Given such an ordering, Ceres ensures that the parameter blocks in
// the lowest numbered group are eliminated first, and then the
// parmeter blocks in the next lowest numbered group and so on. Within
// each group, Ceres is free to order the parameter blocks as it
// chooses.
//
// If NULL, then all parameter blocks are assumed to be in the
// same group and the solver is free to decide the best
// ordering.
//
// e.g. Consider the linear system
//
// x + y = 3
// 2x + 3y = 7
//
// There are two ways in which it can be solved. First eliminating x
// from the two equations, solving for y and then back substituting
// for x, or first eliminating y, solving for x and back substituting
// for y. The user can construct three orderings here.
//
// {0: x}, {1: y} - eliminate x first.
// {0: y}, {1: x} - eliminate y first.
// {0: x, y} - Solver gets to decide the elimination order.
//
// Thus, to have Ceres determine the ordering automatically using
// heuristics, put all the variables in group 0 and to control the
// ordering for every variable, create groups 0..N-1, one per
// variable, in the desired order.
//
// Bundle Adjustment
// -----------------
//
// A particular case of interest is bundle adjustment, where the user
// has two options. The default is to not specify an ordering at all,
// the solver will see that the user wants to use a Schur type solver
// and figure out the right elimination ordering.
//
// But if the user already knows what parameter blocks are points and
// what are cameras, they can save preprocessing time by partitioning
// the parameter blocks into two groups, one for the points and one
// for the cameras, where the group containing the points has an id
// smaller than the group containing cameras.
//
// Once assigned, Solver::Options owns this pointer and will
// deallocate the memory when destroyed.

bool use_postordering;
// Some non-linear least squares problems have additional
// structure in the way the parameter blocks interact that it is
// beneficial to modify the way the trust region step is computed.
//
// e.g., consider the following regression problem
//
// y = a_1 exp(b_1 x) + a_2 exp(b_3 x^2 + c_1)
//
// Given a set of pairs{(x_i, y_i)}, the user wishes to estimate
// a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, and c_1.
//
// Notice here that the expression on the left is linear in a_1
// and a_2, and given any value for b_1, b_2 and c_1, it is
// possible to use linear regression to estimate the optimal
// values of a_1 and a_2. Indeed, its possible to analytically
// eliminate the variables a_1 and a_2 from the problem all
// together. Problems like these are known as separable least
// squares problem and the most famous algorithm for solving them
// is the Variable Projection algorithm invented by Golub &
// Pereyra.
//
// Similar structure can be found in the matrix factorization with
// missing data problem. There the corresponding algorithm is
// known as Wiberg's algorithm.
//
// Ruhe & Wedin (Algorithms for Separable Nonlinear Least Squares
// Problems, SIAM Reviews, 22(3), 1980) present an analyis of
// various algorithms for solving separable non-linear least
// squares problems and refer to "Variable Projection" as
// Algorithm I in their paper.
//
// Implementing Variable Projection is tedious and expensive, and
// they present a simpler algorithm, which they refer to as
// Algorithm II, where once the Newton/Trust Region step has been
// computed for the whole problem (a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, c_1) and
// additional optimization step is performed to estimate a_1 and
// a_2 exactly.
//
// This idea can be generalized to cases where the residual is not
// linear in a_1 and a_2, i.e., Solve for the trust region step
// for the full problem, and then use it as the starting point to
// further optimize just a_1 and a_2. For the linear case, this
// amounts to doing a single linear least squares solve. For
// non-linear problems, any method for solving the a_1 and a_2
// optimization problems will do. The only constraint on a_1 and
// a_2 is that they do not co-occur in any residual block.
//
// This idea can be further generalized, by not just optimizing
// (a_1, a_2), but decomposing the graph corresponding to the
// Hessian matrix's sparsity structure in a collection of
// non-overlapping independent sets and optimizing each of them.
//
// Setting "use_inner_iterations" to true enables the use of this
