Replace the FIFO circular buffer in rte_graph with a bitmap and a
topologically-sorted schedule table. The old circular buffer appended
nodes in enqueue order, effectively a partial DFS driven by per-node
process functions. This caused convergence nodes to be visited before
all upstream branches had run, resulting in redundant visits with
smaller batches.

Nodes are now sorted by (topo_order, node_id) using BFS depth from
source nodes, ensuring upstream nodes are always visited before
downstream ones. The diamond perf test shows a ~10% throughput
improvement (converge visited once at 256 objs/call instead of twice
at 128).

Changes v2 -> v3:
 - dropped explicit priority field (int16_t) from rte_node_register
   and struct node; topological ordering from BFS is sufficient
 - removed hiprio worker node type from diamond test; topo_order
   alone provides correct ordering without user intervention
 - updated documentation and SVG diagram accordingly

Changes v1 -> v2:
 - split diamond perf test into separate preparatory patch
 - added topological depth (topo_order) as secondary sort key to
   preserve upstream-before-downstream ordering, preventing a
   regression in the reverse tree test
 - restored idx == 0 guard on bitmap set in the enqueue path to
   avoid a ~15% throughput regression caused by touching the pending
   bitmap cache line on every enqueue call
 - added performance numbers measured before and after
