/** conflict processing method of conflict handler (called when conflict was found)
 *
 *  This method is called, when the conflict analysis found a conflict on variable bounds.
 *  The conflict handler may update its data accordingly and create a constraint out of the conflict set.
 *  If the parameter "resolved" is set, the conflict handler should not create a constraint, because
 *  a different conflict handler with higher priority already created a constraint.
 *  The bounds in the conflict set lead to a conflict (i.e. an infeasibility) when all enforced at the same time.
 *  Thus, a feasible conflict constraint must demand that at least one of the variables in the conflict
 *  set violates its corresponding bound, i.e., fulfills the negation of the bound change in the conflict set.
 *  For continuous variables, the negation has to be defined in a relaxed way: if, e.g., the bound in the conflict
 *  set is "x <= u", the negation to be used has to be "x >= u", and not "x > u".
 *  The given "bdchginfos" array representing the conflict set is only a reference to an internal
 *  buffer, that may be modified at any time by SCIP. The user must copy the needed information from the
 *  "bdchginfos" array to own data structures, if (s)he wants to use the information later.
 *  (S)he should not keep a pointer to the array or pointers to the single bdchginfos in the array, because these
 *  may get invalid afterwards.
 *
 *  input:
 *  - scip            : SCIP main data structure
 *  - conflicthdlr    : the conflict handler itself
 *  - node            : node to add resulting conflict constraint to (with SCIPaddConsNode())
 *  - validnode       : node at which the conflict constraint is valid (should be passed to SCIPaddConsNode())
 *  - bdchginfos      : array with bound changes that lead to a conflict
 *  - relaxedbds      : array with relaxed bounds which are efficient to create a valid conflict
 *  - nbdchginfos     : number of bound changes in the conflict set
 *  - separate        : should the conflict constraint be separated?
 *  - local           : is the conflict set only valid locally, i.e., should the constraint be created as local constraint?
 *  - dynamic         : should the conflict constraint be made subject to aging?
 *  - removable       : should the conflict's relaxation be made subject to LP aging and cleanup?
 *  - resolved        : is the conflict set already used to create a constraint?
 *  - result          : pointer to store the result of the conflict processing call
 *
 *  possible return values for *result:
 *  - SCIP_CONSADDED  : the conflict handler created a constraint out of the conflict set
 *  - SCIP_DIDNOTFIND : the conflict handler could not create a constraint out of the conflict set
 *  - SCIP_DIDNOTRUN  : the conflict handler was skipped
