The current edge comparison routine under validation used to check for cyclic dependencies is inefficient. For suites with very large numbers of inter task dependencies e.g. LARGE_FAM1:succeed-all => LARGE_FAM2 the current calculation means the suite is effectively un-validatable. Solves point 2 of #1776
This dramatically speeds up the comparison by reducing it to (effectively) order N from order ~N**2
In the case of the real user suite it gets the calculation down from 2.5+ hours (estimate based on the chunk I ran before giving up and assuming it can be read into memory) to 1 second.
