Add support for "flattening" fragment-spreads (#121)

## Summary:
One common use of fragment spreads is as the entirety of a field's
selection, e.g.
```graphql
query MyQuery {
  myField {
    ...MyFragment
  }
}
```
In this case, by default, genqlient generates a wrapper type
`MyQueryMyFieldMyType`, which just embeds `MyFragment`.  This makes
sense if you later want to add more fields in addition to the fragment
spread.  But if you don't -- and you did the fragment because you want
to share types, it's an extra layer of indirection.  (Which becomes
especially onerous if `myField` has list type (`[MyType!]`), such that
it's not just an extra attribute-access to get to `MyFragment`.)

The new option `# @genqlient(flatten: true)` simplifies this situation:
if applied to `myField` is skips the wrapper type;
`MyQueryResponse.MyField` will simply have type `MyFragment` (or
`[]MyFragment`, or whatever).  This should hopefully make the `typename`
option, which has more limitations, less necessary.

Note that in #30 the initial idea was to support this for fields as
well.  This would require significant additional complexity in the
JSON-(un)marshaling code, and has proven less necessary, so I
implemented this option only for fragment-spreads for now.  With that
restriction, it was shockingly simple; we have to hook into a bunch of
different places, but they're all quite simple, since the structure of
the Go types still matches the structure in GraphQL.
