Construct a selection operator.

Helper function which defines a selector method, i. e., an operator which takes the population and returns a part of it for mating or survival.

makeSelector(
  selector,
  supported = getAvailableRepresentations(),
  supported.objectives,
  supported.opt.direction = "minimize"
)

`selector`	[`function`] Actual selection operator.
`supported`	[`character`] Vector of strings/names of supported parameter representations. Possible choices: “permutation”, “float”, “binary” or “custom”.
`supported.objectives`	[`character`] At least one of “single-objective” or “multi-objective”.
`supported.opt.direction`	[`character(1-2)`] Does the selector work for maximization tasks xor minimization tasks or both? Default is “`minimize`”, which means that the selector selects in favour of low fitness values.
