LinearProgramming improvement

[Dev AM]

I guess that LinearProgramming command syntax could be simplified, accepting as parameter only a system of inequalities.

LinearProgramming[{-2, 1, -5}, {{1, 2, 0},{3, 2, 0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}}, {{6,-1},{12,-1},{0,1},{1,0}}] vs LinearProgramming[{-2, 1, -5}, {{2y+x<=6},{2y+3*x<=12},{y>=0}}] or something equivalent.

I started implementing NMinimize(), NMaximize() functions for linear objective and constraints.

Examples:

NMinimize({-2*x+y-5, 2y+x<=6&&2y+3*x<=12&&y>=0},{x,y})
NMaximize({-2*x+y-5, 2y+x<=6&&2y+3*x<=12&&y>=0},{x,y})

Please check the implementation carefully. At the moment only Equal, GreaterEqual and LessEqual relations are allowed.
