Graph Edge

This is a graph edge type used in Stencila for representing provenance, reactivity and other graphs.

Edge direction is always from source to target. For resource-flow edges, this is usually from upstream dependency to downstream dependant. For discourse edges, this is the authored relation direction. Both endpoints reference GraphNode.id values.
