 * One point crossover policy. A random crossover point is selected and the
 * first part from each parent is copied to the corresponding child, and the
 * second parts are copied crosswise.
 *
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 * -C- denotes a crossover point
 *                   -C-                                -C-
 * p1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 0 1 1)    X    p2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 1 1 1)
 *         \------------/ \-----/              \------------/ \-----/
 *            ||         (*)                       ||        (**)
 *            VV         (**)                      VV        (*)
 *      /------------\ /-----\              /------------\ /-----\
 * c1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 1 1 1)    X    p2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 0 1 1)
 * </pre>
 *
 * This policy works only on {@link AbstractListChromosome}, and therefore it
 * is parametrized by T. Moreover, the chromosomes must have same lengths.
 *
 * @param <T> generic type of the {@link AbstractListChromosome}s for crossover
