Identify the best solver currently installed on the system and specify that
it should be used to solve a conservation planning problem()
.
For information on the performance of different solvers,
please see Schuster et al. (2020) for benchmarks comparing the
run time and solution quality of different solvers when applied to
different sized datasets.

Object (i.e. ConservationProblem
) with the solver
added to it.
Ranked from best to worst, the available solvers that can be used are:
add_gurobi_solver()
, add_cplex_solver()
, add_rsymphony_solver()
,
and finally add_lpsymphony_solver()
.
