feature: stateful visitors for 5 new headers

[Becheler]

Important

New algorithms and API additions need a design issue first. Such a PR is not reviewed until an issue has settled the API and frozen the scope. PRs whose scope grows under review go stale. See How To Contribute an Algorithm.

Motivation

Extend #614 #634 to new algorithms

What this PR does

• 5 new headers now accept std::ref(vis):
• tiernan_all_cycles
• bron_kerbosch_all_cliques
• core_numbers
• metric_tsp_approx
• r_c_shortest_paths

Also updaated docs and tests and examples.
