Oriented Particle System simulations

Description:

1. Creates a wrapper to l-BFGS-b Fortran library.
2. Implements Oriented Particle System (OPS) energy and jacobian for minimization.
3. Implements Brownian dynamics on a curved surface using OPS.

Dependencies:

1. VTK
2. Eigen
3. lbfgsb
4. SHTOOLS

Building on Windows 10 with MSYS2 or MinGW-W64:

1. We must manually specify the path for qwt headers and the library. Look at the end of CMakeLists.txt in the root directory.
2. We must manually specify the path for shtools module and library. e.g. SHTOOLS_LIBRARY=C:/msys64/usr/local/lib/libSHTOOLS.a and SHTOOLS_INCLUDE_DIR=C:/msys64/usr/local/include. SHTOOLS project does not use CMake. It only provides a Makefile. Hence, it is easiest to build it directly under MSYS2.
