Accelerate add edges for large graphs

[kilianvolmer]

Motivation / Current Behaviour

When using a few thousand edges in a graph, the graph generation process takes a long time.

Enhancement description

The edges are always sorted and inserted into the correct location in the edge vector. It can be faster to just push all edges to this vector, then sort it and finally remove duplicates.
