// This class implements the LinearSolver interface for solving
// rectangular/unsymmetric (well constrained) linear systems of the
// form
//
//   Ax = b
//
// Since there does not usually exist a solution that satisfies these
// equations, the solver instead solves the linear least squares
// problem
//
//   min_x |Ax - b|^2
//
// The solution strategy is based on computing the QR decomposition of
// A, i.e.
//
//   A = QR
//
// Where Q is an orthonormal matrix and R is an upper triangular
// matrix. Then
//
//     Ax = b
//    QRx = b
//  Q'QRx = Q'b
//     Rx = Q'b
//      x = R^{-1} Q'b
//
// If the PerSolveOptions struct has a non-null array D, then the
// augmented/regularized linear system
//
//   [    A    ]x = [b]
//   [ diag(D) ]    [0]
//
// is solved.
//
// This class uses the dense QR factorization routines from the Eigen
// library. This solver always returns a solution, it is the user's
// responsibility to judge if the solution is good enough for their
// purposes.
