BetweennessCentrality returns the betweenness centrality for a specified vertex in the given graph G, or if no vertex is specified, returns a list of the betweenness centralities for each vertex in G.

The betweenness centrality of a vertex v is a measure of the proportion of shortest paths through the graph which pass through v. It is the sum over all pairs of vertices a and b (both different from v) of the number of least-weight paths from a to b which pass through v divided by the total number of least-weight paths from a to b.
