`HierarchicalClustering` sounds good. We already have
`SpectralClustering` as a class name so having `Clustering` in the
class name is fine I think.

Also do all the specialized hierarchical clustering algorithms put
under that class umbrella will share a big enough common set of
hyperparams?  If not it might be better to keep independent classes
for ward, single linkage, complete linkage and so on.
