   The purpose of this function is to simplify the graph.
   Simplification serves two purposes:
   1. Reduce the number of edges in the graph, (thus the number of variables to the equation
      solver is reduced, and the solver performs better).
   2. Be able to do distribution of sequences of edges more intelligently (esp. with sequential
      anchors)

   It is essential that it must be possible to restore simplified anchors back to their "original"
   form. This is done by restoreSimplifiedAnchor().

   There are two types of simplification that can be done:
   1. Sequential simplification
      Sequential simplification means that all sequences of anchors will be merged into one single
      anchor. Only anhcors that points in the same direction will be merged.
   2. Parallel simplification
      If a simplified sequential anchor is about to be inserted between two vertices in the graph
      and there already exist an anchor between those two vertices, a parallel anchor will be
      created that serves as a placeholder for the sequential anchor and the anchor that was
      already between the two vertices.

   The process of simplification can be described as:

   1. Simplify all sequences of anchors into one anchor.
      If no further simplification was done, go to (3)
      - If there already exist an anchor where the sequential anchor is supposed to be inserted,
        take that anchor out of the graph
      - Then create a parallel anchor that holds the sequential anchor and the anchor just taken
        out of the graph.
   2. Go to (1)
   3. Done


   * Gathering sequential anchors *
   The algorithm walks the graph in depth-first order, and only collects vertices that has two
   edges connected to it. If the vertex does not have two edges or if it is a layout edge,
   it will take all the previously collected vertices and try to create a simplified sequential
   anchor representing all the previously collected vertices.
   Once the simplified anchor is inserted, the collected list is cleared in order to find the next
   sequence to simplify.
   Note that there are some catches to this that are not covered by the above explanation.

  Use heuristics to determine the correct orientation of a given anchor.

  After API discussions, we decided we would like expressions like
  anchor(A, Left, B, Right) to mean the same as anchor(B, Right, A, Left).
  The problem with this is that anchors could become ambiguous, for
  instance, what does the anchor A, B of size X mean?

     "pos(B) = pos(A) + X"  or  "pos(A) = pos(B) + X" ?

  To keep the API user friendly and at the same time, keep our algorithm
  deterministic, we use an heuristic to determine a direction for each
  added anchor and then keep it. The heuristic is based on the fact
  that people usually avoid overlapping items, therefore:

     "A, RIGHT to B, LEFT" means that B is to the LEFT of A.
     "B, LEFT to A, RIGHT" is corrected to the above anchor.

  Special correction is also applied when one of the items is the
  layout. We handle Layout Left as if it was another items's Right
  and Layout Right as another item's Left.

  Calculate graphs is the method that puts together all the helper routines
  so that the AnchorLayout can calculate the sizes of each item.

  In a nutshell it should do:

  1) Update anchor nominal sizes, that is, the size that each anchor would
     have if no other restrictions applied. This is done by quering the
     layout style and the sizeHints of the items belonging to the layout.

  2) Simplify the graph by grouping together parallel and sequential anchors
     into "group anchors". These have equivalent minimum, preferred and maximum
     sizeHints as the anchors they replace.

  3) Check if we got to a trivial case. In some cases, the whole graph can be
     simplified into a single anchor. If so, use this information. If not,
     then call the Simplex solver to calculate the anchors sizes.

  4) Once the root anchors had its sizes calculated, propagate that to the
     anchors they represent.
