potential: Implementation of the Potential Model

Provides functions to compute the potential model as defined by Stewart (1941) <doi:10.1126/science.93.2404.89>. Several options are available to customize the model, such as the possibility to fine-tune the distance friction functions or to use custom distance matrices. Some computations are parallelized to improve their efficiency.
