Why are these changes needed?

This is an API change to the Searcher class, adding an add_evaluated_point method, allowing the user to pass information about parameter configurations that have been evaluated separately to search algorithms that support it. Potential use cases include warm starting, meta-Searchers that use multiple Searchers internally which share information between themselves and combining information from multiple runs.

Additionally, the implementation of the new method has been added to Optuna and HEBO Searchers. Implementation for other searchers is left for the future.
