quadratic_penalty(Problem,InnerSolver)

• Problem - Problem object implementing constrained_optimization_problem_protocol.

• InnerSolver - Atom naming a local_optimization solver class taking a single problem parameter, e.g. bfgs or lbfgs. Constructed dynamically each outer iteration as InnerSolver(SubProblem).

Quadratic penalty method for problems with general equality and inequality constraints, delegating each penalized subproblem to an existing local optimization solver.
