convert relationship links between type

As a modeller, I want to be easily able to convert a selected set of relationships instances of a type to a different type so that I don't have to manually re-create relationships and re-draw multiple models by hand, (at risk of error)

Acceptance criteria - I can select a set of relationship instances from the model and convert them from type A to type B. I accept that this is only possible if both relationships exist on the same source, and target set of element types.

The relationship instances are moved from type A to type B

The relationship instances as drawn on model canvasses are converted, inheriting the new style where a style is defaulted (and has not been over-written or removed)

Example: I have a model constructed, containing 50+ relationships of type (serves) in Archimate. We have concluded that 25 of these should now be changed to "flows". This is a laborious job and we want to avoid the effort.

Benefit - sporadic, but high when encountered (medium)

A really useful feature because when creating the initial model I may not know which relationship to use and as the model matures I'll settle on the most appropriate relationships.

Note that we could change Requirement Links from one type to another in old versions of MooD
