   SNESLINESEARCHBT - Backtracking line search.

   This line search finds the minimum of a polynomial fitting of the L2 norm of the
   function. If this fit does not satisfy the conditions for progress, the interval shrinks
   and the fit is reattempted at most max_it times or until lambda is below minlambda.

   Options Database Keys:
+  -snes_linesearch_alpha<1e-4> - slope descent parameter
.  -snes_linesearch_damping<1.0> - initial step length
.  -snes_linesearch_max_it<40> - maximum number of shrinking step
.  -snes_linesearch_minlambda<1e-12> - minimum step length allowed
-  -snes_linesearch_order<cubic,quadratic> - order of the approximation

   Level: advanced

   Notes:
   This line search is taken from "Numerical Methods for Unconstrained
   Optimization and Nonlinear Equations" by Dennis and Schnabel, page 325.
