Provide some way of visualising the dependency graph of a given element

Background

It would be cool if BuildStream had a way to visualise the dependency graph of a given element, especially if one could look at the graphs above and below separately. In terms of a valid use case, I've often wanted this feature when deciding whether to test changes by building locally or putting them through CI, as some elements in freedesktop-sdk take too long to feasibly build locally. This feature would allow users to do something like this much easier.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
