[mlpack] Flower Pollination Algorithm in mlpack

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Artem,

the FPA method looks interesting,  would be nice to have an implementation;
happy to review the code. Also, we spent some time last year to strip out the
optimization infrastructure from mlpack into its own package:

https://github.com/mlpack/ensmallen

Thanks,
Marcus

The algorithm is not hard to implement and I am curious whether it would be worth to have this algorithm in mlpack?
