// created and an equality constraint will be added to the model to force
// this new variable to be equal to the old linear combinaison defining the
// objective.
//
// If the objective contains only one term, we canonicalize it so that its
// coefficient is one. If there is no objecitve, this has no effect.
//
// The main raison to do that is that the objective can be preprocessed like
// any linear constraint before beeing "extracted" again.
//
// TODO(user): Add only a >= constraint? Not sure it is useful to do that before
// presolve, we can always do this optimization just before solving the model.
