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.

    35   // \brief Notifier class to notify observes about alterations in
    36   // a container.
    37   //
    38   // The simple graphs can be refered as two containers: a node container
    39   // and an edge container. But they do not store values directly, they
    40   // are just key continars for more value containers, which are the
    41   // node and edge maps.
    42   //
    43   // The node and edge sets of the graphs can be changed as we add or erase
    44   // nodes and edges in the graph. LEMON would like to handle easily
    45   // that the node and edge maps should contain values for all nodes or
    46   // edges. If we want to check on every indicing if the map contains
    47   // the current indicing key that cause a drawback in the performance
    48   // in the library. We use another solution: we notify all maps about
    49   // an alteration in the graph, which cause only drawback on the
    50   // alteration of the graph.
    51   //
    52   // This class provides an interface to a node or edge container.
    53   // The first() and next() member functions make possible
    54   // to iterate on the keys of the container.
    55   // The id() function returns an integer id for each key.
    56   // The maxId() function gives back an upper bound of the ids.
    57   //
    58   // For the proper functonality of this class, we should notify it
    59   // about each alteration in the container. The alterations have four type:
    60   // add(), erase(), build() and clear(). The add() and
    61   // erase() signal that only one or few items added or erased to or
    62   // from the graph. If all items are erased from the graph or if a new graph
    63   // is built from an empty graph, then it can be signaled with the
    64   // clear() and build() members. Important rule that if we erase items
    65   // from graphs we should first signal the alteration and after that erase
    66   // them from the container, on the other way on item addition we should
    67   // first extend the container and just after that signal the alteration.
    68   //
    69   // The alteration can be observed with a class inherited from the
    70   // ObserverBase nested class. The signals can be handled with
    71   // overriding the virtual functions defined in the base class.  The
    72   // observer base can be attached to the notifier with the
    73   // attach() member and can be detached with detach() function. The
    74   // alteration handlers should not call any function which signals
    75   // an other alteration in the same notifier and should not
    76   // detach any observer from the notifier.
    77   //
    78   // Alteration observers try to be exception safe. If an add() or
    79   // a clear() function throws an exception then the remaining
    80   // observeres will not be notified and the fulfilled additions will
    81   // be rolled back by calling the erase() or clear() functions.
    82   // Hence erase() and clear() should not throw exception.
    83   // Actullay, they can throw only \ref ImmediateDetach exception,
    84   // which detach the observer from the notifier.
    85   //
    86   // There are some cases, when the alteration observing is not completly
    87   // reliable. If we want to carry out the node degree in the graph
    88   // as in the \ref InDegMap and we use the reverseArc(), then it cause
    89   // unreliable functionality. Because the alteration observing signals
    90   // only erasing and adding but not the reversing, it will stores bad
    91   // degrees. Apart form that the subgraph adaptors cannot even signal
    92   // the alterations because just a setting in the filter map can modify
    93   // the graph and this cannot be watched in any way.
