Documentation on convex solvers confusing #266

Description

@rileyjmurray

One page says that Elemental's convex solvers are based on the Mehrotra predictor–corrector method.

But another page says they are based on ADMM.

ADMM and Mehrotra's predictor-corrector method are very different. Indeed, both are primal-dual solvers, but ADMM is considered "first order" while the predictor-corrector method is "second order". It seems to me that the sentence

Elemental currently supports distributed dense and sparse Linear, Quadratic, and Second-Order Cone Programs via Mehrotra Predictor-Corrector primal-dual Interior Point Methods

from the first link should simply be updated to

Elemental currently supports distributed dense and sparse Linear, Quadratic, and Second-Order Cone Programs via ADMM.
