makeSparse

Remove some of the treatment-control edges from a network flow
representation of a match (forbidding those pairings)

Matching algorithm based on network-flow structure.
Users are able to modify the emphasis on three different
optimization goals: two different distance measures and
the number of treated units left unmatched. The method is proposed by Pimentel
and Kelz (2019) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1720693>.
The 'rrelaxiv' package, which provides an alternative solver for
the underlying network flow problems, carries an
academic license and is not available on CRAN, but
may be downloaded from Github at
<https://github.com/josherrickson/rrelaxiv/>.
