Velocity Tracker II: The Revenge of Velocity Tracker

Bug: 5265529

Rewrote the velocity tracker to fit a polynomial curve
to pointer movements using least squares linear regression.
The velocity is simply the first derivative of this polynomial.

Clients can also obtain an Estimator that describes the
complete terms of the estimating polynomial including
the coefficient of determination which provides a measure
of the quality of the fit (confidence).

Enhanced PointerLocation to display the movement curve predicted
by the estimator in addition to the velocity vector.

By default, the algorithm computes a 2nd degree (quadratic)
polynomial based on a 100ms recent history horizon.

/**
* Solves a linear least squares problem to obtain a N degree polynomial that fits
* the specified input data as nearly as possible.
*
* Returns true if a solution is found, false otherwise.
*
* The input consists of two vectors of data points X and Y with indices 0..m-1.
* The output is a vector B with indices 0..n-1 that describes a polynomial
* that fits the data, such the sum of abs(Y[i] - (B[0] + B[1] X[i] + B[2] X[i]^2 ... B[n] X[i]^n))
* for all i between 0 and m-1 is minimized.
*
* That is to say, the function that generated the input data can be approximated
* by y(x) ~= B[0] + B[1] x + B[2] x^2 + ... + B[n] x^n.
*
* The coefficient of determination (R^2) is also returned to describe the goodness
* of fit of the model for the given data. It is a value between 0 and 1, where 1
* indicates perfect correspondence.
*
* This function first expands the X vector to a m by n matrix A such that
* A[i][0] = 1, A[i][1] = X[i], A[i][2] = X[i]^2, ..., A[i][n] = X[i]^n.
*
* Then it calculates the QR decomposition of A yielding an m by m orthonormal matrix Q
* and an m by n upper triangular matrix R. Because R is upper triangular (lower
* part is all zeroes), we can simplify the decomposition into an m by n matrix
* Q1 and a n by n matrix R1 such that A = Q1 R1.
*
* Finally we solve the system of linear equations given by R1 B = (Qtranspose Y)
* to find B.
*
* For efficiency, we lay out A and Q column-wise in memory because we frequently
* operate on the column vectors. Conversely, we lay out R row-wise.
