Simplify instantiation of cost functions and their functors

If arguments are passed to a cost function that can be used to construct
the functor, the latter will be instantiated by the cost function using
std::make_unique to ensure exception safety. This not only avoids static
analysis warnings caused by calling new but also spelling the cost
functor type name multiple times.

Also expand deduction guides for instantiating
Dynamic(Auto|Numeric)DiffCostFunction from std::unique_ptr enabled
constructor overloads.

Finally, make CostFunction default move constructible and assignable but
only through derived classes. This in turn allows derived classes to be
movable without relying on custom implementations of corresponding
operators.

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.
