Description

## Description

Using left string and right string as
```cpp
LineString3d{{0.,2.,0.}, {10.,10.,0.}} /* left */,
LineString3d{{0.,-2.,0.}, {10.,-10.,0.}} /* right */,
```
where the width increases linearly.

* Expected behavior:
one would expect a centerline of kind:
{0.,0.,0}, {5.,0.,0}, {10.,0.,0}

* Actual behavior:
However what I get is
```
Centerline:
{0, 0, 0}
{5, 4, 0}
{10, 0, 0}
```

This is a behavior intrinsic to the algorithm. This algorithm is based on lanelet2's and the result is the same:
```py
from lanelet2.core import Lanelet, LineString3d, Point3d, getId

p_left_0 = Point3d(getId(), 0., 2., 0)
p_left_1 = Point3d(getId(), 10, 10, 0)
p_right_0 = Point3d(getId(), 0, -2, 0)
p_right_1 = Point3d(getId(), 10, -10, 0)
ls_left = LineString3d(getId(), [p_left_0, p_left_1])
ls_right = LineString3d(getId(), [p_right_0, p_right_1])
lanelet = Lanelet(getId(), ls_left, ls_right)

centerline = lanelet.centerline
for p in centerline:
print(p)

```
```
[id: 0 x: 0 y: 0 z: 0]
[id: 0 x: 5 y: 4 z: 0]
[id: 0 x: 10 y: 0 z: 0]
```

Research direction

Reproduce the result with the two LineString3d inputs in the issue and compare the computed centerline with the expected points. Then locate the centerline implementation and its existing tests; done means the widening boundaries produce the expected centerline without breaking the corresponding algorithm behavior.
