Traits class + named parameters for MinMeanCycle (#179)

- Add a Traits class defining LargeValue, Tolerance, Path types.
LargeValue is used for internal computations, it is 'long long'
if the length type is integer, otherwise it is 'double'.
- Add named template parameters for LargeValue and Path types.
- Improve numerical stability: remove divisions from the internal
computations. If the arc lengths are integers, then all used
values are integers (except for the cycleMean() query function,
of course).
