Draw a medial tire cut from a random n=20 graph

Add experiments/draw_medial_tire_cut.py, the paper-graphics companion
that imports run_experiment and emits a TikZ panel (walk-depth labels +
cut slits) per recognised tread via to_tikz. Add the resulting figure
(Example 3.2, Figure 2): the single recognised tread T_2 of the medial
tire decomposition of a random maximal planar graph on 20 vertices
(seed 72), an 8-cycle piece with a bite, labelled and cut.

"""Draw the walk-depth labelling and cut of a medial tire decomposition.
Paper-graphics companion to ``run_medial_tire_cut_experiment.py``: it imports
``run_experiment`` from there, runs the pipeline on a random maximal planar
graph, and emits a TikZ ``tikzpicture`` (walk-depth labels + cut slits) for each
recognised full medial tire graph of the decomposition, using ``to_tikz`` from
``medial_tire_cut_labelling``.
This script only renders; the experiment itself draws nothing. Run with the
repo venv (networkx): ``.venv/bin/python``.
Example:
.venv/bin/python draw_medial_tire_cut.py -n 20 --seed 72 > panels.tex

labelling and cut---is carried out by the experiment script
\texttt{experiments/run\_medial\_tire\_cut\_experiment.py}.
\begin{example}[A medial tire cut from a random graph]
\label{ex:real-cut}
Run on a random maximal planar graph on $20$ vertices (seed $72$, level
source vertex $9$), the experiment yields a single recognised tread
$T_2$, drawn in Figure~\ref{fig:real-cut} with the walk-depth labelling
and cut emitted by the graphics companion
\texttt{experiments/draw\_medial\_tire\_cut.py}. Its annular cycle has
length $8$, with up teeth on annular edges $0,3,4$, singleton down teeth
on $1,6,7$, and a bite on the non-incident annular edges $2$ and $5$ (the
central shared apex). Entering at the up tooth on edge $0$ with walk
depth $0$, the root face is labelled in order ($0,1,2$ then $3,4,5$) and
\emph{cut~1} duplicates $a_0$ as it closes; the walk then descends through
the bite into its inner-gap face, labelling the two teeth there ($6,7$),
and \emph{cut~2} duplicates $a_3$ as that face closes. The two cuts leave
only the outer face and the eight teeth as $3$-faces.
