Subject: feat(show): export target dependency graph as JSON

Add a graph-oriented mode to `xmake show` for exporting target\ndependency relationships as JSON.\n\nThis adds `--target_graph` support for whole-project output and\noptional root-target filtering with `--target`.\n\nAdd a plugin test covering full-graph and single-target graph export.\n\nRefs #7475

Subject: fix(depgraph): use direct deps and align print output with JSON
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Switch from target:orderdeps() to target:get('deps') to show only
  direct dependencies declared via add_deps(), not transitive ones
- Print output now shows all fields: root targets, name, kind, group,
  default, and deps — matching the JSON structure
- Add kind assertion to test
