didericis c947ce75ff Add Even Level Graph Generators paper + extend Level Switching reachability
- New paper papers/even_level_graph_generators/: defines Even Level
  Graph (every level cycle even), derived level graphs, intertwining
  trees, and the disjunction conjecture (every maximal planar graph is
  a derived level graph or intertwining tree). Empirically tested
  through n=11: every iso class is at least an intertwining tree, so
  the disjunction holds trivially in this range. The intertwining tree
  disjunct fails at the Tutte graph dual (n=25), so the disjunction
  becomes non-trivial past some unknown threshold.

- Level Switching paper: adds Section 4 (Reachability via edge
  switches) with the two-step argument (Sleator-Tarjan-Thurston for
  Case 1; face-merges for Case 2) and Theorem 4.1 (O(n) edge switches
  suffice to reach all-depth-0).

"""User-proposed simpler algorithm:
1) Assign each face x = min dual-tree distance to any leaf face (ear).
2) When face F at depth d has no balanced surface switch, edge-switch
on the edge between F and F's neighbour with the smallest x.
3) Repeat until the number of depth-d faces has strictly decreased.
