Sudoku puzzle: retrieving status information through parameters

Description
Sudoku puzzle:
  • 'all-different' constraints; retrieving status information through parameters (sudoku_ka.mos).
  • Changing the propagation algorithm; time measures with "gettime" (sudoku2_ka.mos).
  • Analyzing infeasibility (sudoku_conflict.mos).
Further explanation of this example: 'Xpress Kalis Mosel User Guide', Section 3.3 all_different: Sudoku, Section 4.6 Analyzing infeasibility and handling conflicts
