This PR adds a new API
nlopt_set_param(opt, "name", val)
to set arbitrary named parameters for an optimizer. This gives us a generic API to set internal parameters of algorithms.For example, it fixes #329 by adding the API:
to set these parameters for the MMA or CCSA algorithms.
To do:
No Matlab or Fortran bindings for this API. (Passing strings between Fortran and C is hard to do portably from the C side.)
