In "Nodes only" mode, multiple topics not shown #20

This is a repeat of #12. Since that issue was closed with no explanation, I'm re-raising the issue.

In my scenario:

rqt_graph looks great when in "Nodes/Topics" mode: image

However, when in "Nodes only" mode, only one topic is shown: image

In my opinion there are three possible ways to resolve this: Option 1: Do not display topic names when in "Nodes only" mode Option 2: Display multiple graph edges; one edge for each topic. Option 3: Display a single graph edge, and list all topics on that edge

Leaving the implementation as-is is confusing, since it provides only partial information.

This was tested on a debian install on ROS Kinetic, Ubuntu 16.04 Package: ros-kinetic-rqt-graph Version: 0.4.9-0xenial-20180830-080333-0800 Architecture: amd64
