/** Perform breadth-first (BFS) search on the variable constraint graph.
 *
 *  The result of the algorithm is that the \p distances array contains the correct distances for
 *  every variable from the start variables. The distance of a variable can then be accessed through its
 *  problem index (calling SCIPvarGetProbindex()).
 *  Hence, The method assumes that the length of \p distances is at least
 *  SCIPgetNVars().
 *  Variables that are not connected through constraints to the start variables have a distance of -1.
 *
 *  Limits can be provided to further restrict the breadth-first search. If a distance limit is given,
 *  the search will be performed until the first variable at this distance is popped from the queue, i.e.,
 *  all variables with a distance < maxdistance have been labeled by the search.
 *  If a variable limit is given, the search stops after it completes the distance level at which
 *  the limit was reached. Hence, more variables may be actually labeled.
 *  The start variables are accounted for those variable limits.
 *
 *  If no variable variable constraint graph is provided, the method will create one and free it at the end
 *  This is useful for a single use of the variable constraint graph. For several consecutive uses,
 *  it is advised to create a variable constraint graph via SCIPvariableGraphCreate().
