Why did you change this to a pointer?

This PR tries to change the linearization point to a linear expolation of the current estimate using the previous linearization.
However I found this to be not as useful as it would be in the intended usage in GTSAM:
In making this change I also found out that the
easyPoint2KalmanFilter
example has a typo, which I also fixed.If we decide that this is unnecessary, I can keep only the typo fix.
