[Ipopt] How to warm start dual variables in IPOPT?

[Stefan Vigerske]

Hi,

as an interior point solver, it cannot do very much with the solution of 
a previous problem, but the log should at least differ a bit if you set 
a warm_start_init_point.
If you set this option, I believe init_z and init_lambda should be true 
in TNLP::get_starting_point(). You might want to verify this.
