Manages the backgrid column collection. Adds the ability to toggle column visibility (initially and on the fly) and is able to track, save and load state (width, order and visibility).

Example usage

``javascript
// Create column collection
var columns = new Backgrid.Columns([...]);

var territories = new Backbone.Collection([...]);

// Initialize column manager
var colManager = new Backgrid.Extension.ColumnManager(columns, {
initialColumnsVisible: 4,

// State settings
saveState: true,
loadStateOnInit: true
});

// Add control
var colVisibilityControl = new Backgrid.Extension.ColumnManagerVisibilityControl({
columnManager: colManager
});

$("#control").append(colVisibilityControl.render().el);

// Initialize a new Grid instance
var grid = new Backgrid.Grid({
columns: columns,
collection: territories
});

// Render the grid
$("#grid").append(grid.render().el);

// Listen to state changes
colManager.on("state-changed", function (state) {
console.log("state changed: ", state);
});
colManager.on("state-saved", function () {
console.log("state saved!");
});
