closes #947
If the input data for SVM is not normalized correctly, then convergence can be very slow. The solver can even fail to converge. This PR detects such cases and prints a debug message with suggestions how to fix this problem.
Such problems were reported in #947, #1664, #2857, #3233. The threshold for reporting is set so that the message is printed in those cases. I have tested several properly normalized cases to confirm that the message is not shown. Still, the threshold for printing the message does not have a proper theoretical justification, and false positives might occur. Therefore only a debug message is shown instead of a warning.
