Implement Quadratic Constraints/Objectives

[Dirk Schumacher]

With the new MIPModel this is now possible. It requires some changes in ompr.roi and additional classes and operators.

This is good news, especially now we have the NEOS plugin so can workaround problems installing Rcplex.
Are these changes in the development version, and do you plan to put it on CRAN soon?

Function "set_objective" (ompr v1.0.2) seems to have difficulty parsing a non-linear expression:
model = MIPModel()
model = add_variable(model, x, type="continuous")
model = set_objective(model, x*x, sense="min") # Quadratic expressions are not supported (ok)
model = set_objective(model, x^2, sense="min") # non-numeric argument to binary operator (!)

Keep up the good work Dirk :)
