Title: glpk inmplementation written in cython

This requires the improved solver interface from #63.

This solver is written in Cython and uses the c API for GLPK directly.

Advantages:
- pyglpk uses deprecated/removed API's, and has not been updated to use new ones
- solver instances can be pickled
- allows multithreading by releasing GIL during solve (not sure if this is useful)
- it can use newer (and therefore faster) versions of glpk
