Add comprehensive centrality analysis to slipnet study

Key finding: Eccentricity is the only metric significantly correlated
with conceptual depth (r=-0.380, p=0.029). Local centrality measures
(degree, betweenness, closeness) show no significant correlation.

New files:
- compute_centrality.py: Computes 8 graph metrics
- centrality_comparison.png: Visual comparison of all metrics
- Updated paper with full analysis
