      <![CDATA[
      LandmarkBasedTransformInitializer now supports BSplineTransformType.

      Only the following transform types were supported by the
      LandmarkBasedTransformInitializer class:
      VersorRigid3DTransform
      Rigid2DTransform
      AffineTransform

      Now, support for the BSplineTransform is also added.
      Also, I moved this class from the Modules/Core/Transform/ to the
      Modules/Registration/Common/ to avoid module dependency cycle.

      New implementations needed the ITKImageGrid be added to the
      dependencies, and if this class was kept in ITKTransform, it would cause
      a module dependency cycle.
