[mlpack] GSOC : Adding Optimizers to MultiObjective module

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Nanubala,

welcome to the community, and thanks for all the work you already put into
the library. Anything you listed sounds reasonable; it looks like you already
started to work on some parts quite a bit, let's see if we can merge some of
the works shortly.

Looking forward to read your proposal, let us know if there is anything that
we should clarify.

Thanks,
Marcus

I wish to continue this in GSoC (if its not merged already). (Less than a week or even Pre-GSOC)
