* Remove recurssion from ConstrainedReschedule pass

The ConstrainedReschedule pass previosuly was using a recursive depth
first traversal to push back overlapping gates after aligning
operations. This however would cause a failure for a sufficiently large
circuit when the recursion depth could potentially exceed the maximum
stack depth allowed in python. To address this, this commit rewrites the
depth first traversal to be iterative instead of recursive. This removes
the stack depth limitation and should let the pass run with any size
circuit.

However, the performance of this pass is poor for large circuits. One
thing we can look at using to try and speed it up is rustworkx's
dfs_search() function which will let us shift the traversal to rust and
call back to python to do the timing offsets. If this is insufficient
we'll have to investigate a different algorithm for adjusting the time
that doesn't require multiple iterations like the current approach.

Fixes #10049

* Use rustworkx's dfs_search instead of manual dfs implementation

This commit rewrites the pass to leverage rustworkx's dfs_search
function which provides a way to have rustworkx traverse the graph in a
depth first manner and then provides hook points to execute code at
different named portions of the DFS. By leveraging this function we're
able to speed up the search by leveraging rust to perform the actual
graph traversal.

* Revert "Use rustworkx's dfs_search instead of manual dfs implementation"

This made performance of the pass worse so reverting this for now. We
can investigate this at a later date.

This reverts commit bd3cbb2.

* Remove visited node check from DFS

This commit removes the visited node check and skip logic from the DFS
traversal. To ensure this code behaves identically to the recursive
version before this PR this logic is removed because there wasn't a
similar check in that version.
