Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing vehicleCapacity API and the related Heterogeneous Fleets issue (#11); no implementation files or tests are named in the payload. Trace how vehicle capacities move through the Node.js bindings into OR-Tools. Done means users can provide a parallel vehicleCapacities array with per-vehicle values, with coverage for the existing behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

At the moment we expose a single vehicleCapacity property. With it users can set the capacities for all their vehicles. What we should do instead is expose a vehicleCapacities property (parallel array coinciding with the vehicles) where the user can specify a capacity on a per vehicle basis.
