The centroid linkage between the specified clusters.

A cluster is defined as a set of multidimensional points. The rows of left or right are interpreted as the multidimensional points in the cluster.

This method returns the Euclidean distance between the average points (centroids) of the two specified clusters.

ArgumentNullException	left is null. -or- right is null.
ArgumentException	right has not the same NumberOfColumns of left.
