Make `ocaml-depgraph` available in the opam repository

I think ocaml-depgraph would be a useful tool for the Ocaml community.
What do you think of publishing it on the opam repository?

Absolutely, I've had the idea since beginning but lately haven't had time to work on this.

Once concern I still have is the naming, because depgraph already exists on opam and an ocaml- prefix is annoyingly redundant for most opam packages. Suggestions in this regard are welcome.

What about using an acronym, then? ODG fir example, for Ocaml Dependency Graph.
Of course, ODG is used in other contexts already...

I thought about the name for a while and came up with odep, which has a similar flavor to odoc and odig. I've now done the renaming and am doing chores to get ready for publishing.

The initial release is now available on opam: https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/odep/.
