[FEAT] Provide BPMN Semantic data in addition to HTML elements

[tbouffard]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With #927, we can get HTML Elements by providing only a type, so without knowing it in terms of BPMN Semantic. This means that it is hard for integration to be able to at least identify the related BPMN element (by its id) and so retrieve execution/runtime data associated to a running process.

Describe the solution you'd like In addition to the BPMN HTML Element, provide BPMN Semantic information

• [x] general data always available: id, label and BPMN Semantic (Shape or Edge, BPMN kinds like userTask, callActivity, startEvent, ...). Implemented by #940 (bpmn-visualization@0.9.0). Also state if it is a shape or an edge.
• [x] As part of #2854
  • [x] parent element id
  • [x] call activity: callActivityKind, globalTaskKind
  • [x] event: event definition kind (timer, message, escalation, ....)
  • [x] sub process: subprocess kind

To help navigating into the Bpmn Model (as a Graph, see #930)

• [x] #2504

In a first implementation, we should provide at least the general data, specific semantic data could be implemented in a second step.

Possible example to demonstrate the new capabilities Given BPMN diagram, for all BPMN elements, display a popover with on top BPMN data, on the bottom simulated runtime data retrieved accordingly to the BPMN semantic information.

Implementation proposal

IMPORTANT: we may consider #927 while implementing this issue (at least provide the final method signatures)

1st implementation is proposed in #940

The 1st implementation provided by #940 rely on the mxgraph model. It doesn't contain all BPMN info and make us too much tight with mxgraph (see #917). Put this issue to the backlog as it is blocked by #953
