[Suggestion] Add support for printing Graphviz DOT

See original GitHub issue

It could be worthwhile to support another way to “visualize” the graph: print Graphviz DOT description. https://graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html https://graphviz.org/pdf/dotguide.pdf

Once the DOT description is available, people can turn them into image.

Having a nice image could be useful for having and overview of the modules as they are, or if debugging an issue of missing module(s).

And there are also Java libraries that could visualize them, if we decide to do that in zio-magic – I don’t know, it could be neat 😉 https://github.com/nidi3/graphviz-java https://github.com/eclipse/elk

I implemented this. I just haven’t exposed the generated mermaid link in the debug output. I need to figure out a good way to optionally show/hide it / some means of configuring the debug macro. Open to suggestions for an API for this 😃
