 More specifically, construct a GenericExecutionStats on the NLPModel of reg_nlp and add three solver_specific entries namely :smooth_obj, :nonsmooth_obj and :xi.
 This is useful for reducing the number of allocations when calling solve!(..., reg_nlp, stats) and should be used by default.
 Warning: This should *not* be used when adding other solver_specific entries that do not have the current scalar type. 
-For instance, when one adds the history of the objective value as a solver_specific entry (which has Vector{T} type), this will cause an error and `GenericExecutionStats(reg_nlp.model)` should be used instead.
