 * @brief  multi-commodity-flow network cut separator
 * @author Tobias Achterberg
 * @author Christian Raack
 *
 * We try to identify a multi-commodity flow structure in the LP relaxation of the
 * following type:
 *
 *  (1)  sum_{a in delta^+(v)} f_a^k  - sum_{a in delta^-(v)} f_a^k  <=  -d_v^k   for all v in V and k in K
 *  (2)  sum_{k in K} f_a^k - c_a x_a                                <=  0        for all a in A
 *
 * Constraints (1) are flow conservation constraints, which say that for each commodity k and node v the
 * outflow (delta^+(v)) minus the inflow (delta^-(v)) of a node v must not exceed the negative of the demand of
 * node v in commodity k. To say it the other way around, inflow minus outflow must be at least equal to the demand.
 * Constraints (2) are the arc capacity constraints, which say that the sum of all flow over an arc a must not
 * exceed its capacity c_a x_a, with x being a binary or integer variable.
 * c_a x_a does not need to be a single product of a capacity and an integer variable; we also accept general scalar
 * products.

   /* Algorithm to identify multi-commodity-flow network with capacity constraints
    *
    * 1. Identify candidate rows for flow conservation constraints in the LP.
    * 2. Sort flow conservation candidates by a ranking on how sure we are that it is indeed a constraint of the desired type.
    * 3. Extract network structure of flow conservation constraints:
    *    (a) Initialize plusflow[c] = minusflow[c] = FALSE for all columns c and other local data.
    *    (b) As long as there are flow conservation candidates left:
    *        (i) Create new commodity and use first flow conservation constraint as new row.
    *       (ii) Add new row to commodity, update pluscom/minuscom accordingly.
    *      (iii) For the newly added columns search for an incident flow conservation constraint. Pick the one of highest ranking.
    *            Reflect row or commodity if necessary (multiply with -1)
    *       (iv) If found, set new row to this row and goto (ii).
    *        (v) If only very few flow rows have been used, discard the commodity immediately.
    * 4. Identify candidate rows for capacity constraints in the LP.
    * 5. Sort capacity constraint candidates by a ranking on how sure we are that it is indeed a constraint of the desired type.
    * 6. Identify capacity constraints for the arcs and assign arc ids to columns and capacity constraints.
    * 7. Assign node ids to flow conservation constraints.
    * 8. PostProcessing
    *    a  if there are still undecided commodity signs, fix them to +1
    *    b  clean up the network: get rid of commodities without arcs or with at most one node
    *    c  assign source and target nodes to capacitated arc
    *    d  find uncapacitated arcs
