When using a layout filter, it is important to get the GraphNode or GraphConnection, however, in Zest the actual layout node / arc are anonymous inner classes.  We need to expose a way to get the node / connection in the filter.

Inside a layoutFilter you can now say item.getGraphData to get the actual graphnode or graphconnection.

See GraphSnippet8 for an example of this.

the data should be exposed from InternalNode aswell (just by implementing getGraphData() which currently just returns "null". 
currently when implementing a custom layout algorith the actual data is hidden.
