add max depth for vskit expand

maybe I don't want permissible values created for all of the very specific sub-classes that are eligible in the dynamic enum definition

Depth is a problematic metric here

• there are different ways to calculate it. When there are multiple paths is depth the max depth, the min depth, the average? is this over is-a, all edges?
• depth/level is often a very poor proxy for specificity. See the GO FAQ entry on this https://geneontology.org/docs/faq/#ontology

Exceptions are fixed level systems like EC.

If we add filters for depth, what about other derived statistics like information content?

I think a better methodology would be to use other OAK tools to explore the ontology to help manually curate shorelines that can be curated directly into ontologies, e.g using subsets or metaclasses.

OK I'm convinced
