Motion tracking dopesheet

Highlight background depending on number of tracks existing on frame.

This is not so much mathematically accurate displaying where things
shall be improved, but it's nice feedback about which frames better
be reviewed.

Bad frames are tracks < 8, highlighted with red.
OK-ish frame are 8 <= tracks < 16, highlighted with yellow.

Could be some artifacts with color region start/end, this is a bit
unclear what exactly expected to be highlighted -- frames are
displayed as dots, but in fact they're quite noticeable segments.

Fixed for keyframe selection

- Calculate residuals for GRIC in pixel space rather than
in normalized space.

This seems to be how it's intended to be used.

Algebraic H and F will still use normalized coordinates which
are more stable, after this matrices are converted to pixel
space and Ceres refinement happens in pixel space.

- Standard deviation calculation was wrong in GRIC. It shouldn't
be deviation of residuals, but as per Torr it should be deviation
of measurement error, which is constant (in our case 0.1)

Not sure if using squared cost function is correct for GRIC,
but cost function is indeed squared and in most papers cost
function is used for GRIC. After some further tests we could
switch GRIC residuals to non-squared distance.

- Bring back rho part of GRIC, in unit tests it doesn't make
sense whether it's enabled or not, lets see how it'll behave
in real-life footage.

- Reduce minimal correspondence to match real-world manually
tracked footage

- Returned back squares to SymmetricEpipolarDistance and
SymmetricGeometricDistance -- this is actually a cost
functions, not distances and they shall be squared.

Tomato: syncronize with changes in libmv branch with assorted fixes

- Biggest error was in cost functors used for F and H refirement,
they were just wrong.

- Use natural logarithms, since it's actually makes sense from
math papers point of view and error is somewhere else.

- Disabled rho for GRIC, for now use non-clamped error for tests.

- Made SymmetricEpipolarDistance returning non-squared distance
Keyframe selection is currently the only used of this function
and it seems using non-squared distance makes much more sense.

Also would think to append suffix "Squared" to functions which
returns squared distances.

- Removed templated version of SymmetricEpipolarDistance, since
it's not needed actually.

- Changed main keyframe selection cycle, so in cases there're no
more next keyframes for current keyframe could be found in the
image sequence, current keyframe would be moved forward and
search continues.

This helps in cases when there's poor motion in the beginning
of the sequence, then markers becomes occluded. There could be
good keyframes in the middle of the shot still.

- Moved correspondences constraint to the top, so no H/F estimation
happens if there's bad correspondence. Makes algorithm go a bit
faster.

Selection still behaves very much fuzzy and still working on this.

Tomato: added missing files to template generator

Camera tracking: fixed for automatic keyframe selection

Previously GRIC wasn't working because of typo in getting vector
dimension which are vector-columns, not vector rows.

This implied some additional changes to make selector working nicer:

- lambda coefficients in GRIC were changed form natural to base-10,
otherwise sums of rho functions are much smaller than constant
part of GRIC.
This also seems to correlate with papers where log() usually means
base-10 logarithm.

- Limited correspondence ratio from top, which will give better
results because it usually means longer base line.

- Made logging more useful.

Camera tracking: fix for incorrect two ketframe selection criteria

Reprojection error of a solution should be calculated for tracks in
image space, not in normalized space.

Motion tracking: automatic keyframe selection

This commit contains implementation of automatic keyframe selection algorithm
based on Pollefeys's criteria (F-GRIC is smaller than H-GRIC and correspondence
ratio is more then 90%). It is implemented as a part of simple pipeline and
returns vector of keyframe images for a given Tracks structure.

For simple pipeline reconstruction two best keyframes are selecting from list
of all possible keyframes. Criteria for this selection is reprojection error
of solution from two candidate keyfames.

In Blender side added an option in Solve panel to enable Keyframe Selection.
If this option enabled, libmv will detect two best keyframes and use them for
solution. This keyframes will be set back to the interface when solution is
done.
