This change reconfigures the model variables by introducing another dimension k, which allows an agent to be scheduled in at most maxShiftsPerAgentPerDay (as specified in the options) shifts on any given weekday. The penalty function is also extended so as to bias the scheduler towards preferring not to assign multiple shifts per day if it's not needed to avoid other costs.
