Bhattacharyya distance (lowlevel function)

The lowlevel function for computing the bhattacharyya distance.

bhattacharyya(P, Q, testNA, unit)

`P`	a numeric vector storing the first distribution.
`Q`	a numeric vector storing the second distribution.
`testNA`	a logical value indicating whether or not distributions shall be checked for `NA` values.
`unit`	type of `log` function. Option are `unit = "log"` `unit = "log2"` `unit = "log10"`
