support/scripts/graph-depends allow for forward and reverse depends on same graph

The current implementation of buildroot depe dependency graphing
either does forward- or reverse-dependency traversal.

This patch enables buildroot to graph forward and reverse dependencies
on the graph for the same package: (Diagram Credit: Yann E. MORIN)

    $ make pkg-d-graph-both-depends

    pkg A -.            .-> pkg E
            \          /
    pkg B ----> pkg D ----> pkg F
            /          \
    pkg C -'            '-> pkg G

In the above example a single graph shows pkg {A,B,C} are needed
by pkg D, and pkg D is a dependency of pkg {E,F,G}.

Makefile help and manual are also updated.

[Arnout:
 - remove DEPTH and RDEPTH, their functionality is already covered by
   BR2_GRAPH_DEPS_OPTS;
 - remove --rdepth, it was felt to not add sufficient added value;
 - add the new target to the manual;
 - fix flake8 errors.
