This needs to be addressed.

We've decided to redo the refactoring and better separate the steps to simplify the algorithm. By doing so, we also want to fix the existing bug. This work is split into three separate RFEs (JDK-8327109, JDK-8327110, and JDK-8327111).

We therefore extract them in this patch such that we can reuse it in the refactoring for `create_bool_from_template_assertion_predicate()` later. We create a new `DataNodeGraph` class which does the following (to be shared) cloning of a data graph:

@chhagedorn ah ok, I see. I didn't quite realize how you were going to extend the code later before your comments. In that case you can of course leave the computations outside the constructor. We can still discuss the final shape of the code once you do the next RFE's on the same code :)

I'll wait for your code updates to re-review, just ping me ;)
