interconnect: Add interconnect_graph file to debugfs
The interconnect graphs can be difficult to understand and the current
"interconnect_summary" file doesn't even display links in any way.
Add a new "interconnect_graph" file to debugfs in the graphviz "dot"
format which describes interconnect providers, nodes and links.
The file is human-readable and can be visualized by piping through
graphviz. Example:
ssh $TARGET cat /sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/interconnect_graph \
| dot -Tsvg > interconnect_graph.svg
