# 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 city.  The lazy constraint callback
# adds new constraints to cut them off.
