Draw the whole medial graph with all tire cuts

Add a --whole mode to draw_medial_tire_cut.py that renders the entire
medial graph M(G) (the assembled cut graph), on a Kamada-Kawai layout,
with the recognised tires highlighted (black annular vertices, blue/red
teeth carrying walk depths, larger red bite apex) and the rest of M(G)
in grey. Add the resulting figure (Figure 3) and a describing paragraph
to the paper for the n=20 seed-72 example, via an \input-ed .tikz file.

The same data sit inside the whole medial graph $M(G)$.
Figure~\ref{fig:whole-medial} draws all of $M(G)$ for the graph of
Example~\ref{ex:real-cut}, with the tread $T_2$ of
Figure~\ref{fig:real-cut} highlighted in place: its annular medial cycle
in black, its up and down teeth in blue and red carrying their walk
depths, and the remaining medial vertices---those outside any recognised
tire---in grey. This is the assembled cut graph emitted by the
experiment: every recognised tread contributes its cuts, and the tire
pieces are glued to the rest of $M(G)$ along their boundary medial
vertices.

on $20$ vertices from Example~\ref{ex:real-cut}, with all tire cuts
applied. Grey vertices are medial vertices outside any recognised tire;
the highlighted tread $T_2$ (cf.\ Figure~\ref{fig:real-cut}) has black
annular medial vertices, blue up-tooth and red down-tooth apexes carrying
their walk depths, and the larger red vertex is the bite apex. Drawn by
\texttt{experiments/draw\_medial\_tire\_cut.py} with the \texttt{--whole}
option.}
