Sigma separation is a generalization of d-separation that works not only for directed acyclic graphs, but also for directed graphs containing cycles. It was originally introduced in

Constraint-based Causal Discovery for Non-Linear Structural Causal Models with Cycles and Latent Confounders
Forré and Mooij. 2019. arXiv:1807.03024

and is an integral part of the gID algorithm (see #72)

Closes #120

This PR adds a high-level interface and implements tests for
sigma-separation, a generalization of d-separation that works not only
for directed acyclic graphs, but also for directed graphs containing
cycles. It was originally introduced in

> Constraint-based Causal Discovery for Non-Linear Structural Causal
Models with Cycles and Latent Confounders
> Forré and Mooij. 2019.
[arXiv:1807.03024](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.03024)

and is an integral part of cyclic ID algorithm (see
#71) and the gID
algorithm (see #72)
