Still, this is not a complete list of all paths, which can be huge and take very long to calculate (it's an NP-Hard problem).
To be able to run it in a reasonable amount of time, it's using "visitor" which helps to run each node only once.
However, this visitor caused a bug in the following scenario:
A -> B1 -> D -> E
A -> B2 -> D -> E
The traversal was done using DFS, so it started with A -> B1 all the way to E. Then, because D is already visited, it was skipping the other path [A, B2, D, E].
This PR uses BFS instead and the check for visited is done before adding to the queue.
The end result is not only more paths, but also shorter and more relevant paths due to the BFS nature.
