This commit introduces the graph modules with class to handle a graph of reverse dependencies between packages in a Rift project.
When a package is built, especially when its version has changed, it is important to verify that it does not break build and tests of other packages that depends on it (aka. reverse dependencies).
With this new feature, as soon as dependency_tracking option is enabled in project configuration, the graph of reverse dependencies is automatically created with rift build and validate actions, unless --skip-deps option is set on command line. Dependencies are either found in packages info.yaml metadata file or by parsing subpackages (including their provides) and build requirements out of RPM spec files as a fallback.
Rift then solves the reverse dependencies of the packages provided by users with build and validate actions to determine the packages that should be rebuilt or validated consequently.
Unit tests are added to validate the code introduced for this feature.
