I decided not to include routines like lpx_get_parm/lpx_set_parm in the
new api, because most of control parameters in the old api are solver
properties rather than model properties. Probably such statistics could
be reported through the parameter block passed to the solver, for
example, glp_simplex could report the iteration count and other
statistics through glp_smcp structure.

This bug was fixed. The messages from glp_scale_prob may appear only if
you call it explicitly, i.e. out of glp_simplex, in which case you could
use glp_term_out to disable undesirable output.

Lpx_check_kkt is the only routine that still has no equivalent in the
new api, because I would like to replace it with several api routines to
facilitate its usage; besides, the math used there needs some
improvements.
