Joshua Harlow 3a8a78ee64 Use constants for link metadata keys
Instead of using strings (which can be easy to
mistype and get wrong), provide a set of constants
that can be used to attach and use these keys in
flows and at compilation.

This also helps make it more clear what the keys
do and where they are used.

A flow is a structure that defines relationships between tasks. You can
add tasks and other flows (as subflows) to the flow, and the flow provides
a way to implicitly or explicitly define how they are interdependent.
Exact structure of the relationships is defined by concrete
implementation, while this class defines common interface and adds
human-readable (not necessary unique) name.
NOTE(harlowja): if a flow is placed in another flow as a subflow, a desired
way to compose flows together, then it is valid and permissible that during
compilation the subflow & parent flow *may* be flattened into a new flow.
