Add SparseCholesky

SparseCholesky is an interface to sparse cholesky factorization
routines across sparse linear algebra libraries. Each sparse
linear algebra library is responsible for implementing its own
instance of this interface.

As a result the various places - SparseNormalCholeskySolver,
SparseSchurComplementSolver and VisibilityBasedPreconditioner
are significantly simplified.

Ceres Solver

Ceres Solver is an open source C++ library for modeling and solving large, complicated optimization problems. It is a feature rich, mature and performant library which has been used in production at Google since 2010. Ceres Solver can solve two kinds of problems.

  1. Non-linear Least Squares problems with bounds constraints.
  2. General unconstrained optimization problems.

Please see ceres-solver.org for more information.

WARNING - Do not make GitHub pull requests!

Ceres development happens on Gerrit, including both repository hosting and code reviews. The GitHub Repository is a continuously updated mirror which is primarily meant for issue tracking. Please see our Contributing to Ceres Guide for more details.
