[BUG] Clause learning broken since Choco 4.10.14

[Holt59]

Describe the bug

I am trying to upgrade a project from Choco 4.10.13 to 4.10.14, but every time I try to run with clause-learning enabled, I get the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot find maximum of an empty set

I cannot share the actual code since it's from a huge internal project, but I am available to discuss this on Discord. This might be linked to PropLexInt since I seem to only get the error when activating it.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Choco-solver version: 4.10.14 (works fine with 4.10.13).
• JRE : 17.0.13

I'm annoyed for two reasons:

1. firstly because there's a bug
2. but more importantly because I'm working on a completely different version of the explanations framework (namely LCG), which will soon replace the current system (by the end of the year maybe).

So, I would encourage you to wait for the release which will support LCG.
But it will force you to adapt your code (even more if you declare specific constraints).

NB: a public branch with this work in progress is available

There is no urgency on my side, and the only thing I'm using regarding clause-learning is Model.setLearningSignedClauses so hopefully the impact will be minimal.
