Function to route cables along a defined grid, rather than straight lines #2406

Description

Currently, when visualizing complex topologies with many connected devices, the point-to-point (straight or curved) cable routing can quickly look like a "spaghetti" mess. This makes it difficult to trace specific connections, especially in dense environments or larger designs.

I would love to see an orthogonal routing option (like "Manhattan style") that allows cables to follow a grid pattern, creating 90-degree angles rather than overlapping straight lines.

Btw, I use Netbox to map our infrastructure. As part of that, I also use their topology map (vis-network). That's why it would be good to implement this option.
