/**
 * Performs a depth-first search and sort on a directed acyclic graph.
 *
 * @param $graph
 *   A three dimensional associated array, with the first keys being the names
 *   of the vertices, these can be strings or numbers. The second key is
 *   'edges' and the third one are again vertices, each such key representing
 *   an edge. Values of array elements are copied over.
 *
 *   Example:
 *   @code
 *     $graph[1]['edges'][2] = 1;
 *     $graph[2]['edges'][3] = 1;
 *     $graph[2]['edges'][4] = 1;
 *     $graph[3]['edges'][4] = 1;
 *   @endcode
 *
 *   On return you will also have:
 *   @code
 *     $graph[1]['paths'][2] = 1;
 *     $graph[1]['paths'][3] = 1;
 *     $graph[2]['reverse_paths'][1] = 1;
 *     $graph[3]['reverse_paths'][1] = 1;
 *   @endcode
 *
 * @return
 *   The passed-in $graph with more secondary keys filled in:
 *   - 'paths': Contains a list of vertices than can be reached on a path from
 *     this vertex.
 *   - 'reverse_paths': Contains a list of vertices that has a path from them
 *     to this vertex.
 *   - 'weight': If there is a path from a vertex to another then the weight of
 *     the latter is higher.
 *   - 'component': Vertices in the same component have the same component
 *     identifier.
