Allow genqlient types to be marshaled safely (#120)
## Summary: When genqlient generates output types, it generates whatever code is necessary to unmarshal them. Conversely, when it generates input types, it generates whatever code is necessary to marshal. This is all that's needed for genqlient itself: it never needs to marshal output types or unmarshal input types. But maybe you do! (For example, to put the responses in a cache, which is the use case that @csilvers hit at Khan, although there are others one can imagine.) While we can't support every serialization format you might want (at least not without adding plugins or some such), it's not unreasonable to expect that since genqlient can read JSON, it can write it too. Sadly, in the past this was not true for types requiring custom unmarshaling logic, for several reasons. In this commit I implement logic to always write both marshalers and unmarshalers whenever they're needed to be able to correctly round-trip the types, even though genqlient doesn't do so. I wasn't starting from scratch, since of course we already write both marshalers and unmarshalers in some cases. But this ended up requiring surprisingly large changes on the marshaling side, mostly to correctly support embedding (which we use for named fragments). Specifically, as the comments in `types.go` discuss, the most difficult issue is spreads with duplicate fields, which translate to Go embedded fields which end up hidden from the json-marshaler. Ultimately, I had to do things quite differently from unmarshaling, and essentially flatten the type when we write marshaler. But in the end it's not so ugly -- indeed arguably it's cleaner! Mainly it's just different. One thing to note is that we do marshal `__typename` based on what we know about the types; users need not fill it in (and if they do we'll ignore it). This seemed to me to be a better UX, and didn't add much complexity. In general, I begin to wonder whether using `encoding/json` at all is really right for genqlient: we're doing a lot of work to appease it, despite knowing what our types look like. I think it would still be a significant increase in lines of code to roll our own, but that code would perhaps be simpler, and would surely be faster (although if we just want the speed gains we could use another JSON-generator library, see also #47). Anyway, something to think about in the future. ## Test plan: make tesc Author: benjaminjkraft Reviewers: csilvers, StevenACoffman, benjaminjkraft, dnerdy, aberkan, jvoll, mahtabsabet, MiguelCastillo Required Reviewers: Approved By: StevenACoffman, dnerdy Checks: ✅ Test (1.17), ✅ Test (1.16), ✅ Test (1.15), ✅ Test (1.14), ✅ Lint, ✅ Test (1.17), ✅ Test (1.16), ✅ Test (1.15), ✅ Test (1.14), ✅ Lint Pull Request URL: https://github.com/Khan/genqlient/pull/120 |

Add support for binding with a custom marshal/unmarshal function (#104)
## Summary: This is useful if you want to bind to a type you don't control (or use for other things) but need different serialization than its default. This is a feature gqlgen has and we've found it very useful. For example, in webapp we want to bind `DateTime` to `time.Time`, but its default serialization is not compatible with Python, so currently we have to bind to a wrapper type and cast all over the place, which is exactly the sort of boilerplate genqlient is supposed to avoid. For unmarshaling, the implementation basically just follows the existing support for abstract types; instead of calling our own generated helper, we now call your specified function. This required some refactoring to abstract the handling of custom unmarshalers generally from abstract types specifically, and to wire in not only the unmarshaler-name but also the `generator` (in order to compute the right import alias). For marshaling, I had to implement all that stuff over again; it's mostly parallel to unmarshaling (and I made a few minor changes to unmarshaling to make the two more parallel). Luckily, after #103 I at least only had to do it once, rather than implementing the same functionality for arguments and for input-type fields. It was still quite a bit of code; I didn't try to be quite as completionist about the tests as with unmarshal but still had to add a few.

Return clearer errors when __typename is missing (#68)
## Summary: In practice, at Khan at least, this is easy to mess up when writing mocks, because you write the mock by looking at the query, and the query doesn't say it's asking for `__typename` (because genqlient automatically adds that). A sufficiently-smart mocking library might be able to fix that, or detect it at least, but in any case, we can give a clearer error. I also removed an unrelated TODO that was done.

Add support for interfaces, part 1: the simplest cases (#52)
## Summary: In this commit I begin the journey to add the long-awaited support for interfaces (part of #8). Well, it's not the beginning: I already had some half-written broken code around. But it's the first fully functional support, and especially, the first *tested* support; it's probably best to review the nontrivially-changed code as if it were new. Conceptually, the code so far is pretty simple: we generate an interface type, and the implementations. (That code is in fact mostly unchanged.) The complexity comes in because encoding/json doesn't know how to unmarshal that. So we have to add an UnmarshalJSON method, which actually has to be on the types with interface-type fields, that knows how. I factored it into two methods, such that that UnmarshalJSON method is just glue, and then there's a separate function, corresponding to each interface-type, that actually does all the work. (If only one could just write it as an actual method!) The method uses the same trick suggested to me by a few others in another context to deserialize all but one field, then handle that field specially, which is discussed in the code. This still has some limitations, which will be lifted in future commits: - it doesn't allow for list-of-interface fields - it requires that you manually ask for `__typename` - it doesn't support fragments, i.e. you can only query for interface fields, not concrete-type-specific ones But it works, even in integration tests, which is progress! As a part of this, I added a proper config option for the "allow broken features" flag, since I need to be able to set it from the integration tests which are in a separate package (and actually shell out via `go generate`). I also renamed what was to be the first case (InterfaceNoFragments), and replaced it with a further-simplified version (avoiding list-of-interface fields.
