Description
### Description
This RFC proposes adding a function to calculate the Canberra distance between two strided arrays.
Package: `@stdlib/math/strided/distances/canberra`
The function should have the following signature `canberra( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )`.
The Canberra distance is a measure of dissimilarity between two samples in a data set.
The Canberra distance between two elements is as follows:
```js
(abs(x[i] - y[i]) / (abs(x[i]) + abs(y[i]))
```
