Get BlackBoxOptimizationBenchmarking.jl updated to Optimization.jl's interface and run on SciMLBenchmarks

[ChrisRackauckas]

@Vaibhavdixit02 can you take a look over the next week into updating/upgrading https://github.com/jonathanBieler/BlackBoxOptimizationBenchmarking.jl to Optimization.jl's interface? It would nice to have this easily re-runnable over all of Optimization.jl's methods given that it has been a pretty useful benchmark for us in the past. It will also show the completeness of Optimization.jl's interface to have something comprehensive like this.

Hi all, I'm excited to work on this problem as part of the SciML small grants program. Is here an appropriate to share my progress, as well as on the official Julia slack? Thanks!

[ChrisRackauckas]

Please use a WIP PR to share the progress.

[EdwardBerman]

Sounds good, I submitted a WIP PR here: #936 . Thanks!

Hi @EdwardBerman, tell me if you need help :)

Hi @ChrisRackauckas, can you please confirm is this issue still active in SciML projects, or if anyone is working on this?

[Vaibhavdixit02]

This is open, but the scope has increased, we want to wrap all the classes in https://numbbo.github.io/coco/testsuites the current BlackBoxOptimizationBenchmarking.jl only does the bbob suite from there

[parteekcoder]

is anyone working on this, I would like to start working on it. Can you please tell me the procedure for the application? @Vaibhavdixit02
