feat: add Graph Isomorphism Analyzer for structural comparison
New GraphIsomorphismAnalyzer that determines whether two graphs have the same structure (are isomorphic), ignoring vertex labels. Algorithm: - Fast rejection filters: vertex count, edge count, degree sequence - Degree-based vertex partitioning for candidate pruning - VF2-style backtracking search with forward+reverse feasibility checks - Returns vertex mapping (bijection) when isomorphic Features: - analyze() → full IsomorphismResult with mapping, degree sequences, rejection reason - areIsomorphic() → quick boolean shortcut - Immutable result objects (unmodifiable maps and lists) - O(V!) worst case but practical for real-world graphs due to pruning Use cases: - Comparing generated graph topologies (e.g., from GraphGenerator) - Detecting structurally equivalent subgraphs - Validating graph transformations preserve structure 28 tests in GraphIsomorphismAnalyzerTest covering: null inputs, empty graphs, single vertex, triangles, paths, stars, K4, Petersen graph, K2,3 bipartite, C6 vs two-triangles (same degree sequence but not isomorphic), isolated vertices, mixed connectivity, self-isomorphism, mapping correctness verification, immutability

8+
* Graph Isomorphism Checker — determines whether two graphs have the
9+
* same structure (are isomorphic), ignoring vertex labels.
10+
*
11+
* <p>Two graphs G1 and G2 are <b>isomorphic</b> if there exists a
12+
* bijection f: V(G1) → V(G2) such that (u, v) is an edge in G1
13+
* if and only if (f(u), f(v)) is an edge in G2.</p>
14+
*
15+
* <p>Uses a multi-stage approach:</p>
16+
* <ol>
17+
* <li><b>Fast rejection:</b> vertex count, edge count, degree sequence</li>
18+
* <li><b>Degree-based partitioning:</b> vertices grouped by degree</li>
19+
* <li><b>Backtracking search:</b> VF2-style matching with feasibility pruning</li>
20+
* </ol>
21+
*
22+
* <p>Time complexity: O(V!) worst case, but fast-rejection filters and
23+
* degree-based pruning make it practical for most real-world graphs.</p>
