Optimization Method Names as Enums rather than Strings

[jbytecode]

It is always prone to errors to use string expressions for enumeration things.

The code has many optimization methods:

"cga", "sync_cga", "alpha_cga", "ccga", "mcccga"

I introduce a new type

class OptimizationMethod(Enum):
    CGA = 1
    SYNCGA = 2
    ALPHA_CGA = 3
    CCGA = 4
    MCCCGA = 5

so we can do

def __init__(self, 
                 method_name: OptimizationMethod = OptimizationMethod.CGA, 
                 ch_size: int = 0, 
                 n_rows: int = 0, 
                 n_cols: int = 0, 
                 gen_type: str = "", 
                 problem: AbstractProblem = None, 
                 vector: list = [],
                 mins : list[float] = [],
                 maxs : list[float] = []):

and users can never pass illegal type of method name.
