Graphviz: added test suite, fixes, enhancements
* Added a fairly comprehensive test suite * Separated the graph traversal logic from the Graphviz generation code by introducing a new class, cmLinkItemsGraphVisitor{.h,cxx} * Made the graph traversal logic less ad-hoc by using existing methods in the GlobalGenerator; this fixed a few bugs * Added support for new target types: custom targets, object and unknown libraries * Improved support for ALIAS libraries by showing the alias(es) in the graph * Introduced new flags to control those new libraries (consistent with existing flags) * Updated the documentation * Removed useless setting to set graph type in dot file * Improved the node/edge shapes (nicer, more consistent) * Added a legend to the graph * Some refactoring and cleanup of the Graphviz generation code * Added test and fix for issue 19746

-This can result in huge graphs. Using the file

+Those .dot files can be converted to images using the *dot* command from the

+Variables specific to the Graphviz support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- * "graph" : Nodes are joined with lines
- * "digraph" : Nodes are joined with arrows showing direction
- * "strict graph" : Like "graph" but max one line between each node
- * "strict digraph" : Like "graph" but max one line between each node in each direction
+The resulting graphs can be huge. The look and content of the generated graphs
+can be controlled using the file ``CMakeGraphVizOptions.cmake``. This file is
