DCP with network reductions fails on HiGHS; test worked around with Ipopt #230

Description

@m-bossart

test/test_native_dcp_acp_models.jl:66, testset "native DCPNetworkModel
solves under network reduction (c_sys14)", carries:

  # TODO: fails with HiGHS QP solver, why?
  model = DecisionModel(template, sys; optimizer = ipopt_optimizer)

The model is NetworkModel(DCPNetworkModel; reduce_radial_branches =
true, reduce_degree_two_branches = true) on c_sys14 with a thermal
dispatch template — linear network physics with quadratic costs, i.e.
a convex QP that HiGHS supports. A failure there points at the model,
not at solver capability: a bad coefficient or degenerate constraint
from the reduction path is more likely than a HiGHS limitation.

The workaround also removed the only HiGHS coverage of the reduction
path, so nothing now exercises reductions against an LP/QP solver.

Acceptance: root cause identified, and either the testset restored to
HiGHS_optimizer or the comment replaced with a specific explanation of
why Ipopt is required.

Introduced in #225.
