nx.dfs_labeled_edges does not return last visited edge if depth_limit is specified
`nx.dfs_labeled_edges` does not return last (deepest) visited edge when traversing backwards if **depth_limit** is specified.

### Current Behavior
```
graph = nx.path_graph(5, nx.DiGraph)
list(nx.dfs_labeled_edges(graph, source=0))

[(0, 0, 'forward'),
 (0, 1, 'forward'),
 (1, 2, 'forward'),
 (2, 3, 'forward'),
 (3, 4, 'forward'),
 (3, 4, 'reverse'),
 (2, 3, 'reverse'),
 (1, 2, 'reverse'),
 (0, 1, 'reverse'),
 (0, 0, 'reverse')]

list(nx.dfs_labeled_edges(graph, source=0, depth_limit=4))

[(0, 0, 'forward'),
 (0, 1, 'forward'),
 (1, 2, 'forward'),
 (2, 3, 'forward'),
 (3, 4, 'forward'),
 (2, 3, 'reverse'),
 (1, 2, 'reverse'),
 (0, 1, 'reverse'),
 (0, 0, 'reverse')]
```
Note that edge  `(3, 4, 'reverse')` is missing.

### Expected Behavior
```
graph = nx.path_graph(5, nx.DiGraph)
list(nx.dfs_labeled_edges(graph, source=0, depth_limit=4))

[(0, 0, 'forward'),
 (0, 1, 'forward'),
 (1, 2, 'forward'),
 (2, 3, 'forward'),
 (3, 4, 'forward'),
 (3, 4, 'reverse'),
 (2, 3, 'reverse'),
 (1, 2, 'reverse'),
 (0, 1, 'reverse'),
 (0, 0, 'reverse')]
```
