// Returns a new primary environment.
//
// The typical use of this function is to share the same environment between
// multiple solver instances. This is necessary when a single-use license is
// used since only one primary environment can exists in that case.
//
// A single primary environment is not thread-safe and thus it should only be
// used in a single thread. Even if the user has a license that authorizes
// multiple primary environments, Gurobi still recommends to use only one and to
// share it as it is more efficient (see GRBloadenv() documentation).
//
// Of course, if the user wants to run multiple solves in parallel and has a
// license that authorizes that, one environment should be used per thread.
//
// The primary environment can be passed to MathOpt via the
// NonStreamableGurobiInitArguments structure and its primary_env field.
//
// The optional ISV key can be used to build the environment from an ISV key
// instead of using the default license file. See
// http://www.gurobi.com/products/licensing-pricing/isv-program for details.
//
// Example with default license file:
//
//   // Solving two models on the same thread, sharing the same primary
//   // environment.
//   Model model_1;
//   Model model_2;
//
//   ...
//
//   ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(const GRBenvUniquePtr primary_env,
//                    NewPrimaryEnvironment());
//
//   NonStreamableGurobiInitArguments gurobi_args;
//   gurobi_args.primary_env = primary_env.get();
//
//   ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(
//       const std::unique_ptr<IncrementalSolver> incremental_solve_1,
//       IncrementalSolver::New(model, SOLVER_TYPE_GUROBI,
//                              SolverInitArguments(gurobi_args)));
//   ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(
//       const std::unique_ptr<IncrementalSolver> incremental_solve_2,
//       IncrementalSolver::New(model, SOLVER_TYPE_GUROBI,
//                              SolverInitArguments(gurobi_args)));
//
//   ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(const SolveResult result_1, incremental_solve_1->Solve());
//   ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(const SolveResult result_2, incremental_solve_2->Solve());
//
//
// With ISV key:
//
//   ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(const GRBenvUniquePtr primary_env,
//                    NewPrimaryEnvironment(GurobiISVKey{
//                        .name = "the name",
//                        .application_name = "the application",
