No termination with "runcount-limit" lesser then a number of possible combinations

In one of my settings it's possible that the size of my config space is rather small (only 26 possible configurations). With a fixed "runcount-limit" (e.g. 50), my algorithm fails to terminate.

Related to #25. The underlying functionality should live in the ConfigSpace and I opened the following issue automl/ConfigSpace#31.

[mfeurer]

The upcoming version of the configspace package will have a new method estimate_size() which can be used to check if a configuration space is finite. Based on that one could add functionality to deal with a limited configuration space, for example by enumerating all configurations and using those in the EI optimization or by keeping track of whether all configurations have already been sampled (after enumerating them).
