 * @ingroup LPIS
 * @brief  LP interface for Clp
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 * @author Marc Pfetsch
 * @author John Forrest
 *
 *
 * Notes on this interface:
 *
 * - Currently, Clp (Version 1.16) supports two ways of adding rows/columns from arrays: One uses a
 *   length array that for each row/column specifies the number of nonzeros to be added. The second
 *   uses the @p beg array that gives the starting index for each row/column. We use the latter
 *   variant. Since for LPI there should be no gaps in the corresponding arrays, i.e., every entry in
 *   @p val and @a ind gives a nonzero entry, one can switch between the two formats. With the current
 *   Clp implementation both formats involve an overhead:
 *
 *    - For the @p beg variant, Clp gets the end of the array from the last position in @p beg
 *      (i.e., the entry one after the last row/column) and we have to copy and extend @p beg for this
 *      purpose. In the matrix implementation a length information is then again computed.
 *
 *    - For the @p length variant, Clp computes the number of elements from this length variant and
 *      there exists no matrix implementation that uses the length information, i.e., it is recomputed
 *      again.
 *
 *    Concluding: the implementation of Clp/CoinPackeMatrix could be improved. The functions
 *    affected by this are SCIPlpiLoadColLP(), SCIPlpiAddCols(), SCIPlpiAddRows()
 *
 * - In former versions Clp used an "auxiliary model" that allows to save time when the model is
 *   scaled. This is discarded from version higher than 1.8.2.
 *
 * - Clp needs the setting of several special flags to make sure that necessary data (e.g., rays etc.)
 *   are available. If the FASTMIP option in SCIP is true, some settings that are supposed to be faster
 *   are used. We tried to use the best settings, while still working correctly. These settings probably
 *   have to be adapted to future Clp versions. Maybe more possibilities will appear.
 *
 * - At several places this interface corrects the return value of some Clp functions, e.g.,
 *   isProvenPrimalInfeasible(). Currently (Version 1.16) no change in the Clp functions will be made,
 *   but this might change in the future.
 *
 * @todo Check about using fastDual().

    *         1 - Don't keep changing infeasibility weight
    *         2 - Keep nonLinearCost round solves
    *         4 - Force outgoing variables to exact bound (primal)
    *         8 - Safe to use dense initial factorization
    *        16 - Just use basic variables for operation if column generation
    *        32 - Create ray even in BAB
    *        64 - Treat problem as feasible until last minute (i.e. minimize infeasibilities)
    *       128 - Switch off all matrix sanity checks
    *       256 - No row copy
    *       512 - If not in values pass, solution guaranteed, skip as much as possible
    *      1024 - In branch and bound
    *      2048 - Don't bother to re-factorize if < 20 iterations
    *      4096 - Skip some optimality checks
    *      8192 - Do Primal when cleaning up primal
    *     16384 - In fast dual (so we can switch off things)
    *     32768 - called from Osi
    *     65536 - keep arrays around as much as possible (also use maximumR/C)
    *    131072 - transposeTimes is -1.0 and can skip basic and fixed
    *    262144 - extra copy of scaled matrix
    *    524288 - Clp fast dual
    *   1048576 - don't need to finish dual (can return 3)
    *   2097152 - ray even if >2 pivots AND if problem is "crunched"
    *   4194304 - don't scale integer variables
    *   8388608 - Idiot when not really sure about it
    *  16777216 - zero costs!
    * 0x1000000 - is Cbc (and in branch and bound)
    * 0x2000000 - is in a different branch and bound
    *
    *  Comments:
    *         2 - Nonlinear costs are used in primal for infeasibility weight.
    *         4 - In anti-degeneracy operations can move variables just off a bound.
    *         8 - Means dense nucleus in factorization - normally not safe in first factorization as
    *             singularity handling is not useful. Is switched on if going from dual to primal or vv.
    *        16 - Used for "real" column generation.
    *        32 - Currently unclear, does not lead to produce ray
    *        64 - Good idea, since in B&B most problems are feasible.
    *       128 - Assumes user will not create tiny or duplicate elements.
    *       256 - Normally Clp keeps a scaled row copy for speed. For very large problems you might want to turn it off.
    *       512 - Means nonbasic variables should be at bounds and basis will be reasonable.
    *      1024 - In branch and bound - makes some rays available?
    *      2048 - Unclear.
    *      4096 - Skip some optimality checks.
    *      8192 - If the primal has a perturbed problem and needs to clean up, it normally uses dual - but in some cases can be better to use primal.
    *     16384 - Used internally.
    *     32768 - Just switches off some messages, e.g., empty problem.
    *     65536 - Unclear.
    *    131072 - Used internally.
    *    262144 - Normally Clp has unscaled column copy of matrix - this makes an extra scaled copy.
    *    524288 - Used internally.
    *   1048576 - Only set by fastDual (used internally).
    *   2097152 - This was fixed in 03/2018 to make sure that a ray is produced.
    *   4194304 - Not needed for us.
    *   8388608 - Unclear.
    * 0x1000000 - main point: does allow use of disaster handler, but also other decisions in code
    * 0x2000000 - main point: does allow use of disaster handler, but also other decisions in code
    *
    * Cbc seems to use the following special options:
    * lpi->clp->setSpecialOptions(64|128|1024|2048|4096|32768|262144|0x01000000);
    * Sometimes 512+8192 and 8192 or 8 are used as well.
