[Meta] Graph Technical Plan

Intro

While rewriting the Graph app with EUI/Typescript/React and moving it to the new platform, it makes sense to address some usability issues during the re-write.

Preliminary roadmap

This is a collection of tasks included in re-writing and improving the Graph app. Mapping to certain releases is tentative and might change any time.
