Fix examples and CI integration

[vissarion]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Even after the useful PR #190 some examples are still failing to compile.

Describe the solution you'd like
Some have an easy fix e.g. vpolytope-volume while some other e.g. EnvelopeProblemSOS need some work to fix the cmake (at least in my Ubuntu 20.04 with gcc version 9.3.0 I am getting an error Target "EnvelopeProblem" links to target "Python2::Python" but the target was not found after running cmake .).

Additional context
The ultimate solution would integrate all examples to be build in our CI (i.e. github actions) then we will be sure that future changes will not break them.

Thanks for your interest in the project!

Regarding getting started with github there are plenty of useful docs https://docs.github.com/en/get-started

As for this issue we essentially like to build volesti examples using github actions. If you have any specific question please let us know.

I tried to fix Cmake. I wanted to ask if a new .yml file is expected to compile CMakeLists of all examples?

[vissarion]

There is no need for a new .yml files but the current one could compile all the examples after or before compiling and executing all tests.

I'd like to work on this issue if still possible!

Hii @vissarion. To compile CMakeList of examples/optimization_spectrahedra, we need these libraries openblas, lapack and arpack. It would be somewhat difficult to add this in github actions to install this, according to the steps mentions on how to compile.

So should I skip compiling it? Rest all examples are successfully compiling in the CI.

hey @himanshuParashar0101. I have almost completed this issue, I just wanted to ask whether to include compilation of examples/optimization_spectrahedra in github actions as it requires installation of openlas lapack and arpack.
