[PATCH] graph: expose node context as pointers

[Robin Jarry <rjarry@redhat.com>]

In some cases, the node context data is used to store two pointers
because the data is larger than the reserved 16 bytes. Having to define
intermediate structures just to be able to cast is tedious. Add two
pointers that take the same space than ctx.
