    Faster LBFGS.
    
    1. Use column major storage for the various matrices used by
    LowRankInverseHessian. Since all the operations are on columns.
    
    2. Use a circular buffer to keep track of history of the LBFGS updates
    so that an update does not require copying the entire history. This
    makes the updates O(1) rather than O(rank).
    
    The implementation has been checked against the denoising code
    where it gives numerically identical results. The overhead of the
    LBFGS code is now near negligible as compared to the gradient evaluation.
    
    On a sample problem

    Use int32 for parameter block sizes.
    
    CostFunction now uses int32 instead of int16
    to store the size of its parameter blocks.

commit f14f6bf9b7d3fbd2cab939cf4ad615b317e93c83

    Speed up SPARSE_NORMAL_CHOLESKY when using CX_SPARSE.
    
    When using sparse cholesky factorization to solve the linear
    least squares problem:
    
      Ax = b
    
    There are two sources of computational complexity.
    
    1. Computing H = A'A
    2. Computing the sparse Cholesky factorization of H.
    
    Doing 1. using CX_SPARSE is particularly expensive, as it uses
    a generic cs_multiply function which computes the structure of
    the matrix H everytime, reallocates memory and does not take
    advantage of the fact that the matrix being computed is a symmetric
    outer product.
    
    This change adds a custom symmetric outer product algorithm for
    CompressedRowSparseMatrix.
    
    It has a symbolic phase, where it computes the sparsity structure
    of the output matrix and a "program" which allows the actual
    multiplication routine to determine exactly which entry in the
    values array each term in the product contributes to.
    
    With these two bits of information, the outer product H = A'A
    can be computed extremely fast without any reasoning about
    the structure of H.
    
    Further gains in efficiency are made by exploiting the block
    structure of A.
    
    With this change, SPARSE_NORMAL_CHOLESKY with CX_SPARSE as the
    backend results in > 300% speedup for some problems.
    
    The symbolic analysis phase of the solver is a bit more expensive
    now but the increased cost is made up in 3-4 iterations.

    CompressedRowSparseMatrix::AppendRows and DeleteRows bugfix.
    
    CompressedRowSparseMatrix can store the row and column block structure
    but the AppendRows and DeleteRows methods did not pay attention to them.
    This meant that it was possible to get to a CompressedRowSparseMatrix
    whose block structure did not match the contents of the matrix.
    
    This change fixes this problem.

    Handle empty problems consistently.
    
    Until now Ceres was inconsistent in the way it handled a solve
    call on an "empty" Problem. If the problem did not contain
    any residual or parameter blocks, it failed. However, if after
    constructing the reduced program, the problem was found to not
    contain any modifiable parameter blocks, it was considered a valid
    problem which had a constant objective function value.
    
    When creating problems automatically, it is often the case that
    an empty problem is a corner case. This change makes handling this
    corner case consistent with the rest of Ceres logic.

    Consolidate SolverTerminationType enum.
    
    1. Rename SolverTerminationType to TerminationType.
    2. Consolidate the enum as
      a. CONVERGENCE - subsumes FUNCTION_TOLERANCE, PARAMETER_TOLERANCE and GRADIENT_TOLERANCE
      b. NO_CONVERGENCE
      c. FAILURE - captures all kinds of failures including DID_NOT_RUN.
      d. USER_SUCCESS
      e. USER_FAILURE
    3. Solver::Summary::error is renamed to be Solver::Summary::message, to both
    reduce confusion as well as capture its true meaning.

    Made collections port compatible with MSVC2008
    
    The issue was caused by the fact that in this version
    of MSVC unordered_map class is defined in <unordered_map>
    header file, but this file declares the class int std::tr1
    namespace.
    
    This confused existing assumption that if there's an
    existing <unordered_map> file then class is declared
    in std namespace.
    
    Added an extra check to CMake which detects whether
    it's std or std::tr1 which actually contains class
    of unordered_map.

    Restore the state of the Problem after a call to Evaluate.
    
    Calling Problem::Evaluate mutates the state of the parameter blocks.
    In particular, depending on the set and order of parameter blocks
    passed to the evaluate call, it will change the internal indexing
    used by the Program object used by ProblemImpl. This needs to be
    undone before Evaluate returns, otherwise the Problem object
    is in an invalid state.
    
    To help with testing and debugging in the future, a new method
    Program::IsValid has been added which checks whether the problem
    has its parameter and residual blocks in the right state.
    
    Thanks to Stefan Leutenegger for reporting this.

    Better error checking and reporting for linear solvers.
    
    A lot of error checking cruft has accumulated over the years
    in the various linear solvers. This change makes the error reporting
    more robust and consistent across the various solvers.
    
    Preconditioners are not covered by this change and will be the
    subject of a future change.

    Use explicit formula to solve quadratic polynomials.
    
    polynomial.cc implements a companion matrix base method for solving
    polynomials. This is both expensive and numerically sensitive.
    
    This change adds a quadratic equation solver. Instead of using the
    usual quadratic formula, it uses the formula suggested by BKP Horn
    for improved numerical stability.

    Fix constant parameter handling in inner iterations.
    
    There was a bug in the way RemoveFixedBlocksFromProgram was working.
    It only removed the constant parameter blocks from the

    This change fixes this bug. The code for RemoveFixedBlocksFromProgram

    Defining CERES_FOUND in addition to Ceres_FOUND in CeresConfig.
    
    - Previously we relied on FindPackage() to define Ceres_FOUND when
      find_package(Ceres) was called.
    - This is fine, but users might legitimately expect the variable to be
      CERES_FOUND given the form of CERES_INCLUDE_DIRS/LIBRARIES.
    - As there is an inconsistency in the CMake recommended names when
      FindPackage() is called in Module vs Config form, we now explicltly
      define both.

       with FATAL_ERROR.

    Relax the requirements on loss functiond derivatives.
    
    We now require that the first derivative of the loss function
    be positive only if the second derivative is non-zero. This is
    because when the second derivative is non-positive, we do not use
    the second order correction suggested by BANS and instead use
    a simpler first order strategy which does not use a division by
    the gradient of the loss function.

    - Ensure termination after Wolfe search bracketing phase if bracket
      width has been shrunk to below tolerance.
    - Cleaned up return value for BracketingPhase(), now false iff
      optimisation should stop, true otherwise.
    - Fix bug whereby we would mark a step size as satisfying the Wolfe
      conditions when it did not due to numerical issues in the cost
      function.
    - Adding explanation of a subtlety in which a zoom could still be
      acceptably invoked with bracket_low.f > bracket_high.f.
    - Replacing hard check of a pre-condition of ZoomPhase() with a
      conditional return if not satisfied to address issue whereby a
      bracket could be incorrectly identified due to inconsistent values
      & gradients returned from the cost function.
    - Adding missing check for step size validity in line search minimizer.

    Removing incorrect specialisation of install dirs on Windows.
    
    - Previously on Windows the leaf include & lib install directories
      passed to CeresConfig.cmake.in when configured where capitalised on
      Windows.
    - This capitalisation was incorrect, as the actual paths used are
      specified in the install() statements and are always in the standard
      lower-case form.
    - This likely did not cause any issues previously as although NTFS is
      case sensitive, the Win32 API is not, and most applications access
      files through the Win32 API, and are thus not case-sensitive.
