Add a new option to treat an interface like an object (#97)

## Summary:
The basic idea here is if you only request interface fields (no
fragments) you may not care about the concrete type, and so we could
just generate a struct as if it were an object.  I don't think it's a
good idea to do that by default, because then if you later add a
fragment all your code totally changes, but it's quite reasonable as an
option!

Most of the code involved is just wiring and validation; the
core implementation is literally just: treat it like an object.
