lwa19/centrality: Compute network centrality without generating a graph object

This package aims to be a light-weight alternative to the widely used network analysis package "igraph" in calculating standardized centrality measures from the adjacency matrix. The benefit of thispackage is that it circumvents the excessive steps of converting the adjacency matrix into a graph, etc., since that information is not necessary for centrality measure computation and would simply be a waste of computational resources in this context. The drawback of this package is that the functionality is not as complete as that of the package `igraph`, with certain inherent assumptions such as no self-loops exist. It is also only capable of calculating degree and closeness centrality measures.
