Move constraint validation to common utility function

Following user feedback, the constraint validation is now done uniformly
across all solvers through a common utility function `_check_constrained_problem`
in utils.jl. This ensures consistent error messages and behavior across all
constraint-supporting solvers.

Changes:
- Added _check_constrained_problem utility function in utils.jl
- Updated LBFGS and AugLag to use the utility function
- Added validation to all other constraint-supporting solvers:
  - OptimizationNLopt
  - OptimizationOptimJL (IPNewton)
  - OptimizationPRIMA (COBYLA, LINCOA)
  - OptimizationEvolutionary
  - OptimizationSciPy (ScipyMinimize, ScipyShgo)
  - OptimizationMOI (NLP)
  - OptimizationNOMAD

This provides a more maintainable solution that ensures all solvers
give the same helpful error message when constraint bounds are missing.
