Improve edge labeling #227

Suggestion

Is a suggestion as I'm not sure if we want to have this kind of default style that overrides cytoscape patterns.

Seeing this amazing example by @pwrose:

That can be tested here, I thought we could improved the default way to show labels. Currently is hard to read.

How to

We have a style.json file and I believe the changes should happen there. Whoever take this issue feel free to be creative regarding on how to show the labels :) the general goal is to improve readability.

A quick google search showed me results where labels are not on top of edges. I'm not sure what's the best default behavior tbh.
