                A solver defines the parameter update rule for a single layer in a deep
                neural network.  It takes a parameter gradient vector and the layer's
                parameters and tells you how the parameters should be updated.
                Importantly, each solver instance is used with only one layer in a network.
                This allows us to define solvers that have per layer state, for example, a
                solver may keep a momentum term and apply it to its update rule.

                Note that there is no dlib::EXAMPLE_SOLVER type.  It is shown here purely
                to document the interface a solver object must implement.
