Keir Mierle 7492b0d8de Update copyright headers with new year and URL
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.

// Instances of GradientProblem represent general non-linear
// optimization problems that must be solved using just the value of
// the objective function and its gradient. Unlike the Problem class,
// which can only be used to model non-linear least squares problems,
// instances of GradientProblem not restricted in the form of the
// objective function.
//
// Structurally GradientProblem is a composition of a
// FirstOrderFunction and optionally a LocalParameterization.
//
// The FirstOrderFunction is responsible for evaluating the cost and
// gradient of the objective function.
//
// The LocalParameterization is responsible for going back and forth
// between the ambient space and the local tangent space. (See
// local_parameterization.h for more details). When a
// LocalParameterization is not provided, then the tangent space is
// assumed to coincide with the ambient Euclidean space that the
// gradient vector lives in.
//
// Example usage:
//
// The following demonstrate the problem construction for Rosenbrock's function
//
// f(x,y) = (1-x)^2 + 100(y - x^2)^2;
//
// class Rosenbrock : public ceres::FirstOrderFunction {
// public:
// virtual ~Rosenbrock() {}

//
// cost[0] = (1.0 - x) * (1.0 - x) + 100.0 * (y - x * x) * (y - x * x);
// if (gradient != NULL) {
// gradient[0] = -2.0 * (1.0 - x) - 200.0 * (y - x * x) * 2.0 * x;
// gradient[1] = 200.0 * (y - x * x);
