[Osi] set row solution (activities)

[Ted Ralphs]

In Osi, the primal solution is referred to as the column solution,
since there is one value for each column (and the dual solution is the
row solution). So I'm not sure what you meant by the "(primal) row
solution." Row activity is the inner product of the column solution
with a given row of the constraint matrix, so it is not related to the
dual solution. I assume that by setRowSolution(), you mean the method
for setting the dual solution (currently called setRowPrices(), though
for consistency, it probably shouldn't be). But this method would have
no affect on the row activities, so what do you mean by
"setRowSolution and do a memcpy into rowActivity_."?
