Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

mesh setups can look a bit deathstar like if all nodes see each other.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a checkbox/button to switch topology view to only show links thar lead to the gateway and hide all other links.
this will simplify the mesh into a star-like topology and makes setups more readable. especially if switches are involved.
also it allows seeing the best path for all nodes (could be expensive to recalculate though - Dijkstra)

controversial suggestion:
If a node is connected to two gateways then only show links to the selected gateway not all gateways (in multi VPN setups where one side of the setup uses a different gateway than the other)

this will simplify the map to only show links in active use and which of them have issues (low TQ). this can help in debugging issues in a setup.
also it highlights uplink related nodes better since they are the only nodes with several connections (no leaf)
