Description
It might be useful for samplers to be able to "annotate" binary quadratic models with data such as the lowest energy found by any solver and/or the state(s) that found that energy. This lowest energy could potentially come with a certificate marking it as a ground state (when that's possible).
**Uses**
* The current best state(s) could be used to see other solvers that accept an initial state (see also #491)
* Useful for benchmarking, because it provides a target and different samplers could be rated on time-to-target
**Additional Context**
This data could just be stored in the `BQM.info` dict.
