Class
    Foam::designVariablesUpdate

Description
    A class encapsulating functionality neccessary to perform an optimisation
    loop, such as updating the design variables,  checking the
    sufficient reduction/adhetion of objective and constraint values in each
    optimisation cycle by performing a line-search and checking the overall
    convergence of the optimisation loop, if the corresponding criteria are
    provided.

    Kept separate from optimisationManager to isolate functionality required
    only when the update of the design variables is performed.
