a7f9545a37 Circles in triangle: correct frozen variables
Since the self-product of the point at infinity is left unspecified, the
first three components can vary without violating any constraints. To
keep the point at infinity where it's supposed to be, we freeze all of
its components.

d0340c0b65 Correct point utility again
The balance between the light cone basis vectors was wrong, throwing the
point's coordinates off by a factor of two.

5abd4ca6e1 Revert "Give spheres positive radii in examples"
This reverts commit 4728959ae0, which
actually gave the spheres negative radii! I got confused by the sign
convention differences between the notes and the engine.

4728959ae0 Give spheres positive radii in examples
This changes the meaning of `indep_val` in the overlapping pyramids
example, so we adjust `indep_val` to get a nice-looking construction.

b185fd4b83 Switch to backtracking Newton's method in Optim
This performs much better than the trust region Newton's method for the
actual `circles-in-triangle` problem. (The trust region method performs
better for the simplified problem produced by the conversion bug.)

53d8c38047 Preserve explicit zeros in Gram matrix conversion
In previous commits, the `circles-in-triangle` example converged much
more slowly in BigFloat precision than in Float64 precision. This
turned out to be a sign of a bug in the Float64 computation: converting
the Gram matrix using `Float64.()` dropped the explicit zeros, removing
many constraints and making the problem much easier to solve. This
commit corrects the Gram matrix conversion. The Float64 search now
solves the same problem as the BigFloat search, with comparable
performance.

d538cbf716 Correct improvement threshold by using unit step
Our formula for the improvement theshold works when the step size is
an absolute distance. However, in commit `4d5ea06`, the step size was
measured relative to the current gradient instead. This commit scales
the base step to unit length, so now the step size really is an absolute
distance.
