I'm not really in favor of having bst-graph at all.
I think we should either:
* Enhance `bst show` with features like `--depth` or such, allowing some
scripting to construct the graph and display it however it wants
* Open up some very limited `Stream` / `App` APIs from the `buildstream`
module and make a limited set of APIs public
* Allowing at least to load the build graph once and have access to the
`Element` and `Source` data model, reducing load time and allowing users to do
whatever introspective operations they might want
Either of these approaches don't add a first class graphing feature but
allow users to do more powerful things without requiring special buildstream
features to do so... specifically this should be interesting if we add APIs for
`Source` objects to report information about their URLs etc, so that we can do
SBoMs in a way that does is stable and does not abuse internal APIs (like
fdsdk's collect_manifest thing does).
