New description:

 This patch adds

 1) a function that finds all spanning trees in a graph.
 (adapted from "Bounds on Backtrack Algorithms for Listing Cycles, Paths,
 and Spanning Trees" R. C. Read and R. E. Tarjan, 1975)

 2) a function that finds all bridges in a graph recursively, that is used
 in calculating the spanning trees
 (adapted from the solution to 4.1.36 in Sedgewick's _Algorithms_ 4th ed.)

 For example:

 {{{
 sage: G = Graph([(1,2),(1,2),(1,3),(1,3),(2,3),(1,4)])
 sage: G.spanning_trees()
 [Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices,
  Graph on 4 vertices]
 sage: len(G.spanning_trees()) == G.spanning_trees_count()
 True
 sage: G.bridges()
 [(1, 4, None)]
 }}}
 These functions will assist in the calculation of the Jones polynomial of
 a knot.
