eatATA: Create Constraints for Small Test Assembly Problems

Provides simple functions to create constraints for small test assembly problems (e.g. van der Linden (2005, ISBN: 978-0-387-29054-6)) using sparse matrices. Currently, 'GLPK', 'lpSolve', 'Symphony', and 'Gurobi' are supported as solvers. The 'gurobi' package is not available from any mainstream repository; see <https://www.gurobi.com/downloads/>.
