Apply a primal heuristic to a knapsack problem

The program demonstrates the use of the global log callback.

We take the knapsack problem stored in burglar.mat and instigate a global search. At each node, so long as the current solution is both LP optimal and integer infeasible, we truncate the solution values to create a feasible integer solution. We then update the cutoff, if the new objective value has improved it, and continue the search.
