//! COBYLA initial simplex (PRIMA `initxfc`).
//!
//! Builds the regular initial simplex `sim(:, j) = ρ_beg eⱼ` around the pole
//! `sim(:, n) = x0`, evaluating the objective and constraints at each vertex.
//! As each off-pole vertex is found better (by raw `F`) than the pole, it is
//! swapped to the pole and the displacement bookkeeping is kept lower-triangular
//! (Powell's construction). `simi = inv(sim[:, 0..n])` is formed at the end.
