### Description
* Fix `get_graph()` generating an unexpected conditional edge to
`__end__` when the last step has a single (non-terminal) source and the
graph is cyclic.
### Issue
* There was a fallback path that was triggered in `draw_graph()` when,
for a Pregel instance; no termini exist and there is only a single step
source (the last one). In this case an edge was added: (last source) ->
`__end__`, even when another node already had a valid edge: (node) ->
`__end__`.
See this example:

<summary>code</summary>
```python
from langgraph.graph import END, START, StateGraph
from pydantic import BaseModel
class State(TypedDict):
messages: list[str]
def chatbot_node(state: State) -> State:
return {"messages": state["messages"] + ["chatbot"]}
def tools_node(state: State) -> State:
return {"messages": state["messages"] + ["tools"]}
def human_node(state: State) -> State:
return {"messages": state["messages"] + ["human"]}
def tools_condition(_: State) -> str:
return "tools"
def end_condition(_: State) -> str:
return "chatbot"
workflow = StateGraph(State)
workflow.add_node("chatbot", chatbot_node)
workflow.add_node("tools", tools_node)
workflow.add_node("human", human_node)
workflow.add_edge(START, "human")
workflow.add_edge("tools", "chatbot")
# graph_builder.add_edge("chatbot", "human") !!!
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"chatbot", tools_condition, {"tools": "tools", "human": "human"}
)
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"human", end_condition, {"chatbot": "chatbot", END: END}
)
app = workflow.compile()
mermaid = app.get_graph().draw_mermaid()
```
</details>
The code above, as-is, generates the graph on the left. There is an
unexpected conditional edge: chatbot -> `__end__`. If you uncomment the
commented line and introduce a static edge: chatbot -> human,
`get_graph()` returns the correct representation:
1 Without `graph_builder.add_edge("chatbot", "human")` | 2 With
`graph_builder.add_edge("chatbot", "human")`
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:

|

* In case 1), the graph is cyclic so termini is empty, and the last
`step_sources` set during the static walk contains only the chatbot
node, so an edge is added: chatbot -> `__end__`.
* In case 2), the graph is cyclic so termini is empty, and the last
`step_sources` set during the static walk contains only the human node,
so an edge is added: human -> `__end__`, but `add_edge()` dedups (the
edge already exists) so the graph appears correct.
### Solution
* Check that no valid edges: (node) -> `__end__` exist before triggering
the fallback path and creating an edge.
Before | After
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:

|

After: The graph is cyclic so termini is empty, and the last
`step_sources` contains the chatbot node, but an edge already exists:
human -> `__end__`, so no more edges are added.
### Tests
* `test_get_graph_nonterminal_last_step_source()` which asserts no
unexpected edge to `__end__` is produced from the last nonterminal step
source.
### Issue
Closes #4394
