Use XTI implementation instead of ATI in NetworkSimplex (#234)

XTI (eXtended Threaded Index) is an imporved version of the widely
known ATI (Augmented Threaded Index) method for storing and updating
the spanning tree structure in Network Simplex algorithms.

In the ATI data structure three indices are stored for each node:
predecessor, thread and depth. In the XTI data structure depth is
replaced by the number of successors and the last successor
(according to the thread index).
