[Ipopt] Lagrange Multipliers, Scaling, and convergence tolerance

Hi,

I never used the user-scaling option, but I would presume that the 
returned multipliers are not scaled, that is, that they correspond to 
the original problem. That's how it is for the other scaling options and 
I don't think it should be different when using user defined scaling values.

You can just try it out by looking at the multipliers with your 
user-scaling enabled and disabled.

Best,
Stefan
