New Genetic Algorithm solution for Knapsack problem
Describe your change:
Adding a genetic algorithm solution for the knapsack problem, one of the famous combinatorial optimization problems.
It is commonly known that combinatorial optimization problems can be solved using dynamic programming. It is lesser known that genetic algorithms (or evolutionary computing in general) can reach the best solution fairly quickly in a lot of cases. Otherwise, it can still approximate a very good solution (in life, good is good enough).

Hi! Can you help me by telling why my build test is failing, I want to contribute search_in_a_rotated_sorted_array in search directory and my build test failed. PR: Search in rotated sorted array #13245
