Algorithms for finding k-edge-connected components and subgraphs.

A k-edge-connected component (k-edge-cc) is a maximal set of nodes in G, such
that all pairs of node have an edge-connectivity of at least k.

A k-edge-connected subgraph (k-edge-subgraph) is a maximal set of nodes in G,
such that the subgraph of G defined by the nodes has an edge-connectivity at
least k.

Constructing the AuxillaryGraph (which may take some time) allows for the k-edge-ccs to be found in linear time for arbitrary k. Notes ----- This implementation is based on [1]_. The idea is to construct an auxiliary graph from which the k-edge-ccs can be extracted in linear time. The auxiliary graph is constructed in $O(|V|\cdot F)$ operations, where F is the complexity of max flow. Querying the components takes an additional $O(|V|)$ operations.

The undirected case for k=2 is exactly bridge connected components. The directed case for k=1 is exactly strongly connected components. References ---------- .. [1] Wang, Tianhao, et al.
