Improve docs on what the skan measurements actually mean #197

Juan says here that the docs in skan need to be improved, to prevent misunderstanding like the one I made here: https://forum.image.sc/t/how-to-dilate-skeleton-based-on-vessel-diamater/65549/4?

It would be good to improve the docs for all the statistical metrics skan produces.
But the specific measurement I'd confused was:

  • branch-distance: the total length of the branch. Eg: a string laid along the branch, touching it all the way)
  • euclidean-distance: the straight line distance between the start and end points of the branch. Eg: a string pulled taught between the branch start and end. This is (almost) always smaller than the branch-distance (it will be equal to the branch distance in cases where the branch is entirely straight)
