Document the differences between the 4 (5?) diff. `center*` functions

See original GitHub issue

@stebogit Brings up a good point that we now have a confusing set of four (or five) different measures for “center.” This may make perfect sense to geographers, but is probably opaque to non-geographers. (I mean, I’m still not 100% on understanding @turf/center-of-mass!)

I’ve drafted some boilerplate language that can go in the READMEs for all of them. See #1122 and its README for that draft. It’s just the beginning, however. I also think I could/should draft an infographic that shows what influences each calculation. The idea would be to include the infographic in all of the center functions’ pages on the web documentation and/or in their READMEs?
