Implement the scaling Price Refinement heuristic in CostScaling (#417)
instead of Early Termination.

These two heuristics are similar, but the newer one is faster
and not only makes it possible to skip some epsilon phases, but
it can improve the performance of the other phases, as well.

LEMON is an open source library written in C++. It provides
alpar@246
     6
easy-to-use implementations of common data structures and algorithms
alpar@246
     7
in the area of optimization and helps implementing new ones. The main
alpar@246
     8
focus is on graphs and graph algorithms, thus it is especially
alpar@246
     9
suitable for solving design and optimization problems of
alpar@246
    10
telecommunication networks. To achieve wide usability its data
alpar@246
    11
structures and algorithms provide generic interfaces.
