[mlpack] GSOC : Adding Optimizers to MultiObjective module

[sai_ng]

Hi Marcus,

Please refer to me as Sai :) (I know it can be confusing for the surname to
be put first)

I'm glad you're looking forward to the proposal. I figured it'd be better
to reply with something concrete than to
simply throw words. So, here's my Beta stage proposal
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PKrDbu9HjYnYO1maX7SLVHlfDmEiBOkD73gmFd-t7gM/edit?usp=sharing>
(It requires permission).
Let me know if the proof of concept /theory/ level of detail is
satisfactory or not.

It's still under-development, but I'm realising the first-look to weed-out
preliminary mistakes.
If other mentors are interested, please drop me your mail @jonpsy IRC I'll
grant permission.

Cheerio, folks!
NGS
