// Runs k-means on the given set of points.
//   - n: The number of points in the data set
//   - k: The number of clusters to look for
//   - d: The number of dimensions that the data set lives in
//   - points: An array of size n*d where points[d*i + j] gives coordinate j of
//   point i
//   - attempts: The number of times to independently run k-means with different
//   starting centers.
//               The best result is always returned (as measured by the cost
//               function).
//   - centers: This can either be null or an array of size k*d. In the latter
//   case, it will be
//              filled with the locations of all final cluster centers.
//              Specifically
//              centers[d*i + j] will give coordinate j of center i. If the
//              cluster is unused, it
//              will contain NaN instead.
//   - assignments: This can either be null or an array of size n. In the latter
//   case, it will be
//                  filled with the cluster that each point is assigned to (an
//                  integer between 0
//                  and k-1 inclusive).
// The final cost of the clustering is also returned.
