Interfaces for creating new layout algorithms.

Create a new Layout

1. Create a new module and set LayoutAPI and GraphAPI as dependencies.
2. Create a new builder class by implementing LayoutBuilder
3. Add @ServiceProvider annotation to your builder, that it can be found by the system. Set LayoutBuilder as the annotation parameter.
4. Create a new class that implements Layout. Set instantiation code in LayoutBuilder.buildLayout().
