Use Ridders' method in GradientChecker.

Using Ridders' method gives orders of magnitude more accuracy compared
to central differences. This will make things slower, but this is
primarily a testing/debugging feature and the speed hit is not a
concern. This should also reduce the false positive rates when users
enable check_gradients. This is reflected the increased sensitivity of
the tests for GradientChecker.

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.
