Colby Mchenry d0e649969a fix(graph): treat class instantiation as a caller/callee edge (#774) (#804) ...

`callers <Class>` returned "No callers found" (or only the importing
file) even when a class's constructor was called from many sites, and
the instantiation sites were invisible — the opposite of what "what
breaks if I change this class?" should answer.

The `instantiates` edges already existed in the graph, correctly
attributed to the constructing function; they were simply excluded from
the caller/callee traversal, which queried only calls/references/imports.
Constructing a class is calling its constructor, so add `instantiates`
to the edge-kind set in both getCallers and getCallees (kept symmetric so
they stay inverses and `trace` can cross the instantiation boundary,
function -> class -> its methods). impact already traversed all edge
kinds, so it was unaffected.

Query-layer only — existing indexes benefit on upgrade with no re-index.
Verified on a Python fixture: `callers Supervisor` now returns the
construction sites (main/work/test_it), and a new graph test asserts
main() <-> DerivedClass via the instantiation. Full suite green.
