Pin topic (node) position on the graph layout

[Casyfill]

The basic graph layout is simple but does it job... most of the time.
It would be nice though to somehow pin certain core nodes at specific positions relative to each other, so they will remain further apart and stable.

I recognize this is an exotic request, so perhaps this does not require any UI solution, but simple hard-coding of the coordinates in the graph settings. I have ~0 experience with Typescript but will be happy to work on that feature. I see it as one of two options:

Option 1.

In foam.settings.json, add graph settings per node, e.g:

...
"graph_settings": {
"pinned_nodes": {
"root" : [0, 0],
"family": [100, 100],
"work": [-100, -100],
"sport":[-100, 100]
}
}

or

Option 2

Via tags in markdown file's settings, e.g.

# Root
---
markdown-node-style:
    position: [0, 0]
---
my root markdown

That would be aligned with the proposals here

thanks for this, I am definitely open to the idea. We have various graph related proposal but atm no-one available to work on the, so for now I am tagging this for easy future retrieval
