Document the new barrier presolve setting. solver_settings.cu exposes CUOPT_BARRIER_PRESOLVE_FIXED_VARIABLES with values -1 (automatic, enabled), 0 (disabled), and 1 (enabled), and a default of -1. The manually maintained Barrier Solver Settings section in docs/cuopt/source/convex-settings.rst does not describe it. Add an entry that states its barrier-presolve scope and supported values.

Treat both Q rows and columns as quadratic participation. Supported LP and MPS parsers emit upper-triangular CSR quadratic data. For an entry (i, j) with i < j, variable j has no entry in its own Q row but remains a Q column. The user-problem and presolve conversion paths preserve this representation.

When barrier presolve is enabled, remove_fixed_variables checks only row j. It can therefore remove a fixed variable that is referenced by a retained Q row. Reindexing then maps that Q column to -1, triggering the assertion in debug builds and leaving an invalid Q index in release builds.

Mark variables as participating in Q when they appear in either a Q row or a Q column before removing fixed variables.

remove_fixed_variables so has_quadratic_term marks a variable when it appears in
either a nonempty Q row or any Q column entry, including upper-triangular
entries whose row index is smaller than the variable index. Perform this
participation check before fixed-variable removal, preserving all Q-referenced
variables from being removed and reindexed to -1.

Pass the original converted LP to fixed-variable reduced-cost recovery. A first solve can cache presolve_info.fixed_variables when a fixed linear column is removed while a separate quadratic column remains. reuse_c_only does not exclude this state.

On the second solve, the reuse path passes a size-only converted LP to uncrush_solution. lp_problem_t(..., 0) value-initializes its objective to zero and gives it an empty matrix. Recovery therefore sets each fixed variable's z_j to zero instead of c_j - a_j^T y. The returned solution can violate A^T y + z = c.

Store the original converted LP in barrier_transform_t and pass it to uncrush_solution, or disable cache reuse when presolve_info.fixed_variables is non-empty.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/presolve.cpp` around lines 2044 - 2057, Ensure
fixed-variable reduced-cost recovery uses the original converted LP rather than
the size-only placeholder on reuse solves. Update barrier_transform_t to retain
the original converted LP and pass it through uncrush_solution, or disable cache
reuse whenever presolve_info.fixed_variables is non-empty; preserve the existing
recovery calculation in uncrush_solution.
