Contributions summary:Jean-françois primarily contributed to the implementation and testing of graph algorithms related to maximum flow, specifically focusing on the Kishimoto and Extended Multiroute Flow algorithms. Their work included adding new functions, such as `restricted_max_flow` and `multiroute_flow`, as well as modifying existing functions to incorporate features like restriction options. The user also added extensive tests for the implemented algorithms, ensuring their correctness across various graph configurations. Moreover, the user extended the functionality of the existing functions and corrected errors in the output.
