[JENKINS-33261] Document the graphviz output in Pipeline

Pipeline Plugin provides the graphViz action in views (https://github.com/jenkinsci/workflow-plugin/blob/53e756588642a39d4e2c74590c317f0a904b26b1/job/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/workflow/job/views/GraphVizAction.java), but this feature is neither documented nor exposed to the Web UI.

It would be useful to make it more public. Kudos to bsideup for discovering it.

Start with job/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/workflow/job/views/GraphVizAction.java, the entry point named in the issue, and inspect how the graphViz action is currently exposed. Check the Pipeline documentation and Web UI conventions before deciding where the feature should be described and surfaced. Done means the graphViz output is documented and publicly accessible through the Web UI.
