Subject: [PATCH 10/59] #152 Adding edges serially instead of in parallel

Adding edges serially instead of in parallel in MinimumFeedbackArcSetSolver.createGraphWithoutEdges().  Adding edges in parallel was causing ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exceptions and appeared to run slightly slower as well when it did succeed.  ClassCastException exceptions also stopped.
Remediated several issues identified by sonar

 present

computeModulator() was returning an empty result when a cycle was present since the current treewidth was calculated to be the target treewidth for some algorithms for a simple cycle.

Subject: [PATCH 21/59] #152 Fixed incorrect unit test

ModulatorComputerTest.ModulatorComputationTests.testCycleGraphModulator() was not generated correctly by Perplexity AI when it was generated.  The graph generated is a cycle and will have a treewidth of 2.

Subject: [PATCH 24/59] #152 Adding no-arg solve() method to
 DirectedFeedbackVertexSetSolver

Adding no-arg solve() method to DirectedFeedbackVertexSetSolver and using the KosarajuStrongConnectivityInspector strongly connected count result as the value for k since it is a lower bound for k for a graph.

Subject: [PATCH 30/59] #152 Added benchmark sizes for sparse graphs

Added 1000 and 1500 node graph sizes to sparse graph benchmark test since codebases can get large but are often sparse

Subject: [PATCH 31/59] #152 Added complete addBypassEdges() implementation

- Replaced addBypassEdges() stub implementation with full implementation
- Added code to compute MAX_PATH_LENGTH, but it is not used right now since it causes NPEs.  It's probably also not necessary

Subject: [PATCH 47/59] #152 LineDigraph no longer extends DefaultDirectedGraph

Had Perplexity rewrite LineDigraph as a separate class that no longer extends DefaultDirectedGraph since the erased method signature of `outgoingEdgesOf()` was clashing with DirectedDefaultGraph's method signature
