• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Description

Add a function which will check whether a point satisfies the linear constraints specified for the optimization problem. This only requires (hopefully sparse) matrix-vector products so is cheap enough to do. This can be used to check, for example, whether the initial point of an optimization is feasible wrt the linear constraints given.
