Added Resource Allocation Graphs (#30118)
Added an explanation about resource allocation graphs, and how a deadlock can be determined from one. Created a hyperlink to a separate page that goes into more detail about these types of graphs.

- **No preemption** : a resource can be released only voluntarily by the process holding it, after that process has completed its task.
|

- **Circular wait** : there exists a set { P<sub>0</sub>, P<sub>1</sub>, …, P<sub>0</sub> } of waiting processes such that P<sub>0</sub> is waiting for a resource that is held by P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>1</sub> is waiting for a resource that is held by P<sub>2</sub>, …, P<sub>n –1</sub> is waiting for a resource that is held by P<sub>n</sub>, and P<sub>0</sub> is waiting for a resource that is held by P<sub>0</sub>.

### Resource Allocation Graphs
|
||||
Possible deadlocks can be discovered through the use of resource allocation graphs, which outline processes and the resources they require. If a cycle exists, so does a potential deadlock.

||||
### Methods for Handling Deadlocks
|
||||
- Put the system in a situation where the deadlock can be avoided, i.e. Deadlock Avoidance.
|
||||
- Ensure that the system will never enter a deadlock state.
