Addition of multiple_longest_common_subsequence

[Gaspardcode]

Description

To whom it may concern,

this pull request aims at introducing an algorithm to find the longest common subsequence among multiple sequences.

Finding a solution other than brute force is not really intuitive. I advise to look at the first comments of this thread.

The pull request implements a method based on heuristic, as described in the following research paper.

Thank you for considering this work.

Hello,

I might need help with this pull request, especially cargo clippy --all -- -D warnings.

Surely I am not supposed to fix the 500+ errors already present before, right ? I tried to run cargo clippy --fix but it wouldn't do.

Thank you

@Gaspardcode: Try updating your branch. There were some new warnings introduced, but it should work now (cf. #871).
