 Implement a unweighted matroid intersection algorithm that uses
 O(sqrt(p)rn) independence queries by adopting a blocking flow like
 technique, where r is the rank, p is the size of the maximum common
 independent set.
 It is a bit better than the augmenting paths algorithm, which takes O(prn)
 queries. However, it's expected to perform worse when p is small, since
 the constant overhead is a bit larger.
