Graph rendering is non-deterministic

Makes it difficult to track/compare when changing views.

This might be a bigger project since we're using a third-party layout engine called Dagre. We'd have to fork and remove the random initialisers.

[14:49] Bryan Boreham: It's fun to click around on this page, but you might want to put some thought into making it more deterministic, so when I flip from Applications to Containers and back I get the same screen each time.

There's another aspect to this that may be easy to overlook. Laying the graph out consistently given a constant data set is one thing; however, some of the unpredictability comes from flipping things around when the data set changes momentarily (e.g., there has been no data over a connection for a few seconds, so it disappears).
