/* Solve a traveling salesman problem on a randomly generated set of
   points using lazy constraints.   The base MIP model only includes
   'degree-2' constraints, requiring each node to have exactly
   two incident edges.  Solutions to this model may contain subtours -
   tours that don't visit every node.  The lazy constraint callback
   adds new constraints to cut them off. */
