Replace pygraphviz with neo4j-viz for graph visualization

- Replace pygraphviz imports with neo4j-viz in pipeline.py
- Update draw() method to save visualizations as HTML files
- Implement get_neo4j_viz_graph() method for interactive visualizations
- Update example in visualization.py to use HTML output
- Update tests to work with neo4j-viz implementation
- Add color coding for better visual distinction
