Detect *all* cycles during topological sort
Previously the cycle detection was limited to detecting when we hit
a currently-being-visited node during a traversal. So something like this would
be correctly found:
A --> B --> C
^ |
| |
+-----+
We start at the root (A), go to B, then to C, then to B, and detect that we're
still working on B and signal the error.
But this doesn't find all cycles, because we *start* at the root nodes, and if
a cycle doesn't have any outcropping branches we'll never reach it at all. For
example:
A --> B
^ |
| |
+-----+
This graph has no roots, so we incorrectly ignore the cycle.
This patch fixes the problem by keeping a count of visited nodes and and making
sure it matches the digraph's size at the end.

Installation
============
cl-digraph can be installed with [Quicklisp][]: `(ql:quickload :cl-digraph)`
The `cl-digraph` system contains the core API and has no dependencies.
The `cl-digraph.dot` system contains support for drawing digraphs with Graphviz
using [cl-dot][].
The `cl-digraph.test` system contains the test suite, which uses [1am][].
