Is Graph Bipartite

 * @brief Algorithm to check whether a graph is
 * [bipartite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_graph)
 *
 * @details
 * A graph is a collection of nodes also called vertices and these vertices
 * are connected by edges. A graph is bipartite if its vertices can be
 * divided into two disjoint and independent sets U and V such that every edge
 * connects a vertex in U to one in V.
 *
 * The algorithm implemented in this file determines whether the given graph
 * is bipartite or not.
 *
 * <pre>
 *  Example - Here is a graph g1 with 5 vertices and is bipartite
 *
 *     1   4
 *    / \ / \
 *   2   3   5
 *
 * Example - Here is a graph G2 with 3 vertices and is not bipartite
 *
 *   1 --- 2
 *    \   /
 *      3

 * Here, side refers to the two disjoint subsets of the bipartite graph.
 * Initially, the values of side are set to -1 which is an unassigned state. A
 * for loop is run for every vertex of the graph. If the current edge has no
 * side assigned to it, then a Breadth First Search operation is performed. If
 * two neighbours have the same side then the graph will not be bipartite and
 * the value of check becomes false. If and only if each pair of neighbours have
 * different sides, the value of check will be true and hence the graph
 * bipartite.

 * @returns `true` if th graph is bipartite
 * @returns `false` otherwise
