    Converts a model containing PiecewiseLinearFunctions to a an equivalent
    MIP via the Multiple Choice method from [1]. Note that,
    while this model probably resolves to the model described in [1] after
    presolve, the Pyomo version is not as simplified. Specifically, in [1], the
    the 'z' variables (representing the value of the piecewise-linear function
    in each Disjunct) are not disaggregated. In this transformation's output
    they will be, but a linear combination of inequalities yields a model
    equivalent to the Multiple Choice model in [1].
