Allow creating aliases for builtin types, using typename. (#133)
## Summary:
This lets you write code like:
```
query x {
# @genqlient(typename: "MyString")
someStringField
}
```
and genqlient will do
```
typename MyString string
type x struct {
someStringField MyString
}
```
This was not difficult to implement, though it required introducing a
new identifier type. The main difficulty I had was weird test
failures, that it turns out was due to the tests putting a bunch of
fields on the same line, so that the genqlient directive on the
previous line applied to all of them, accidentally. This became a
problem when `typename` suddenly started being respected for builtin
types! I fixed it by just spreading out the queries a bit.
Fixes #130

|
||||
|
||||
- genqlient now generates getter methods for all fields, even those which do not implement a genqlient-generated interface; this can be useful for callers who wish to define their own interface and have several unrelated genqlient types which have the same fields implement it.
|
||||
- genqlient config now accepts either a single or multiple schema files for the `schema` field.
|
||||
- The `typename` option can now be used on basic types (string, int, etc) as well as structs; this can be useful to have genqlient define new types like `type Language string` and use that type for specified fields.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
- In certain very rare cases involving duplicate fields in fragment spreads, genqlient would generate code that failed to compile due to duplicate methods not getting promoted; genqlient now generates correct types. (See #126 for a more complete description.)
