 * @brief  event handler for tree size estimation and restarts
 *
 * This event handler plugin provides different methods for approximating the current fraction of the search
 * that has already been completed and for estimating the total tree size at completion.
 * It can trigger restarts of the current run if the current run seems hopeless.
 *
 * For details about the available approximations of search completion, please see
 *
 * Anderson, Hendel, Le Bodic, Pfetsch
 * Estimating The Size of Branch-and-Bound Trees
 * under preparation
 *
 * This code is a largely enriched version of a code that was used for clairvoyant restarts, see
 *
