Description

As discussed in: https://discourse.pymc.io/t/semantik-description-of-kruschke-diagrams-model-to-graphviz/16142/8 we could be making more use of the conditional partition of the logp graph for partial step samplers.

When the proposal depends on a ratio between probabilities (BinaryMetropolois, BinaryGibbsMetropolis, CategoricalGibbsMetropolis, Slice, NUTS), we don't need to compute terms that don't depend on the updated variables.

Step samples that explicitly request delta_logp (Metropolis, DEMetropolis) achieve this implicitly via PyTensor rewrites.

I suggest adding a model.dependent_logp(vars) that helps us get the logp we need (the variables of interest + conditional dependent variables)
