[mlpack] GSOC : Adding Optimizers to MultiObjective module

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Sai,

happy to take a look at the proposal and provide feedback, next week
Google will open the submission portal, which will allow you to upload
drafts. The benefit for us is that we can better keep track of proposals
that asked for feedback as well.

Thanks,
Marcus

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