Research direction

Start with the documented Model(name='', sense='MIN', solver_name='', solver=None) entry point and inspect how its solver parameters are described. Update the documentation to explain the difference between solver and solver_name and where external solver paths belong; done means both questions are answered clearly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I tried to find all relevant documentation, but I think there is no description on the difference of parameters solver and solver_name in call to Model(name='', sense='MIN', solver_name='', solver=None).

Where to put the path of external solvers?
