and BOBYQA.  This greatly simplifies the example.

* Add example of semantic segmentation using the PASCAL VOC2012 dataset

* Add note about Debug Information Format when using MSVC

* Make the upsampling layers residual as well

* Fix declaration order

* Use a wider net

* trainer.set_iterations_without_progress_threshold(5000); // (was 20000)

* Add residual_up

* Process entire directories of images (just easier to use)

* Simplify network structure so that builds finish even on Visual Studio (faster, or at all)

* Remove the training example from CMakeLists, because it's too much for the 32-bit MSVC++ compiler to handle

* Remove the probably-now-unnecessary set_dnn_prefer_smallest_algorithms call

* Review fix: remove the batch normalization layer from right before the loss

* Review fix: point out that only the Visual C++ compiler has problems.
Also expand the instructions how to run MSBuild.exe to circumvent the problems.

* Review fix: use dlib::match_endings

* Review fix: use dlib::join_rows. Also add some comments, and instructions where to download the pre-trained net from.

* Review fix: make formatting comply with dlib style conventions.

* Review fix: output training parameters.

* Review fix: remove #ifndef __INTELLISENSE__

* Review fix: use std::string instead of char*

* Review fix: update interpolation_abstract.h to say that extract_image_chips can now take the interpolation method as a parameter

* Fix whitespace formatting

* Add more comments

* Fix finding image files for inference

* Resize inference test output to the size of the input; add clarifying remarks

* Resize net output even in calculate_accuracy

* After all crop the net output instead of resizing it by interpolation

* For clarity, add an empty line in the console output

included in the edge graph.  If it isn't then the output labels from
chinese_whispers would be missing faces in this degenerate case.

dimensions in the same format as the mmod_options object (i.e. two lengths
measured in pixels).  This should make defining random_cropping strategies that
are consistent with MMOD settings much more straightforward since you can just
take the mmod_options settings and give them to the random_cropper and it will
do the right thing.

Test on a given video like this cv::VideoCapture cap("Sample.avi") may be broken when the video frames are not enough before the main window is closed by the user.
