 When using the Ford-Fulkerson method for edge_cut of an undirected
 weighted graph, the value of the minimum cut is correct, but sometimes the
 returned edge cut does not have that value.  The LP method for edge_cut
 does seem to always return the correct answer.

 Below is a simplified example due to Doug McNeil.

 {{{
 sage: G = Graph([(0, 3, 1), (0, 4, 1), (1, 2, 1), (2, 3, 1), (2, 4, 1)])
 sage: G.edge_cut(0,1,value_only=False,use_edge_labels=True)
 [1, [(0, 3, 1), (1, 2, 1), (2, 3, 1)]]
 sage: G.edge_cut(0,1,value_only=False,use_edge_labels=True,method='LP')
 (1.0, [(1, 2)])
 }}}
