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

## Test plan:
