 *
 * This constraint handler can be used to handle symmetries in certain 0/1-programs. The principle
 * structure is that some variables can be ordered in matrix form, such that permuting columns does
 * not change the validity and objective function value of a solution. That is, the symmetry group
 * of the program contains the full symmetric group obtained by permuting the columns of this
 * matrix. These symmetries can be handled by so-called full orbitopes.
 *
 * Moreover, if the variables in each row are contained in set packing or partitioning
 * constraint, these symmetries can be handled by specialized packing or partitioning orbitopes.
 *
 * In more mathematical terms the structure has to be as follows: There are 0/1-variables
 * \f$x_{ij}\f$, \f$i \in \{1, \dots, p\}\f$, \f$j \in \{1, \dots, q\}\f$. The variables may be coupled
 * through set packing or partitioning constraints:
 * \f[
 *    \sum_{j = 1}^q x_{ij} \leq 1  \quad \mbox{or} \quad \sum_{j = 1}^q x_{ij} = 1 \quad \mbox{for all }i = 1, \ldots, p.
 * \f]
 * Permuting columns of \f$x\f$ does not change the validity and objective function value of any feasible solution.
 *
 * We distinguish whether an orbitope is a model constraint or not. If it is a model constraint, then
 * its information are copied to subSCIPs. Otherwise, the constraint was added just for the purpose of
 * symmetry handling and we do not copy its information to subSCIPs.
