ENH: cluster: rewrite and optimized `vq` in Cython

Rewrite the underlying part of cluster.vq in Cython.
Besides, an optimized algorithm is implemented and it will improve the
performance for datasets with large nfeat when built with an optimized
BLAS library.
BLD: Bento build scripts for new cluster._vq
MAINT: cluster: rewrite vq with fused types and BLAS Fortran ABI
MAINT: cluster: avoid copying when dtype is the same in vq

ENH: check for valid 'orientation' kwarg in dendrogram()
BUG: cluster: _vq should check the dtype before using it
BUG: cluster: _vq unable to handle large features

_vq.vq should initialize outdists to INF but ndarray.fill seems
to treat NPY_INFINITY as an int32 and initialize outdists
as 2 ^ 31 - 1, so that the result may be wrong when the features
are large. Use np.inf to fill outdists would be safer.
MAINT: cluster: use 'ndim' instead of 'rank' in _vq

ENH: Implemented Ellipsoidal Harmonic Function, th first kind. Tests written too.
