Nonlinear trimloss problem

Description
Nonlinear formulation of trim loss problem solved either via the Xpress Nonlinear solvers (trimminlp.mos) or configurable for using alternative NLP solvers (trimminnlp2.mos).

Further explanation of this example: This model is discussed in Section 13.3 of the book 'J. Kallrath: Business Optimization Using Mathematical Programming - An Introduction with Case Studies and Solutions in Various Algebraic Modeling Languages' (2nd edition, Springer, Cham, 2021, DOI 10.1007/978-3-030-73237-0).
