Ben Kraft fcae8dd1d7 Add support for specifying type-names, and conflict-detection (#94)
## Summary:
In this commit I add two related features to genqlient:
conflict-detection to avoid generating two distinct types with the same
name, and an option to specify the type-name genqlient should use for
some type.

The conflict-detection was pretty simple once I realized I had already
written all the code to do it in #70.  There was a bunch of wiring,
since we now need to keep track of the GraphQL type/selection-set that
each type corresponds to, but it was pretty straightforward.  This
allows us to:
- detect and reject if you have really sneaky type-names (there are some
  examples documented in `names.go`)
- more clearly crash if genqlient accidentally generates two conflicting
  types, and
- avoid stack-overflow when handing recursive (input) types (although
  sadly the poor support for options on input types (#14) makes them
  difficult to use in many cases; you really need to be able to set
  `pointer: true`)

And with that all set up, the type-naming was also easy!  (It doesn't
have to get into the core of the type-generator, just plug in where we
choose names.  The desire for conflict detection was the main reason I
hadn't set it up already.)  Note that the existing limitation of #70 that
the fields have to be in exactly the same order remains (and is now
documented as #93); it's not deeply hard to fix but it's surprisingly
much work.

Ben Kraft 5211442843 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.

Ben Kraft 4d2058c617 Add a bunch more documentation (and rewrite README) (#86)
## Summary:
In this commit, I add a bunch more documentation of how to use
genqlient, including a getting started guide, and a FAQ that also acts
as a how-to shaped index of common configuration options and extension
points.  Much of this is adapted from the internal doc I wrote at Khan,
or reorganized from what was in the README.  Speaking of which, now that
there are better places for all the details, I rewrote the README to be
a bit more of an overview and index of other documentation.  (For now I
left the "unmaintained" notes, which I'll remove fairly soon once all
our ducks are in a row.)

Fixes #26, #39.

Ben Kraft 9804d42e2f Make README logo work in dark mode (#87)
## Summary:
Dark mode is, they say, the new thing, and the logo doesn't work super
well with it, because it's black on dark grey.  This is surprisingly
hard to fix.  There are a few options:
- make the logo colored; sorry, but I like black
- add a white border to the logo; this is what Apollo does but I
  think it's pretty ugly in dark mode
- add svg with media queries; this works well but only if the github
  dark mode setting matches the browser(/OS) dark mode setting, since
  that's what the media queries look at
I opted for option 3.  This required converting the text in the SVG to
paths, since it really matters that you have the exact same font.  (I
tested on Android Firefox, which empirically doesn't have the same fonts
I have on desktop.)

Fixes #17.

Issue: https://github.com/Khan/genqlient/issues/17

## Test plan:
tested that it looks good on both mobile firefox in dark mode, and
desktop firefox+chrome in light mode.

Ben Kraft 2eba9a2c30 Reorganize documentation to make room to grow (#84)
## Summary:
In this commit I reorganize much of our documentation into a new `docs`
directory, where there will hopefully be more room to grow and to
organize things in a user-friendly way.  There's almost no net-new
documentation, although of course it's a great time to review it anyway.

In particular:
- I moved the documentation for the `genqlient.yaml` config file into an
  example file instead of GoDoc (which now just points to the example
  file); I think this will be a lot clearer for casual users.
- I moved the documentation for the `@genqlient` directive out of GoDoc
  and into a GraphQL schema file (since while it's a comment it's all
  real syntax), likewise, and made the `GenqlientDirective` type private
  (since there's now nothing useful to do with it).
- I moved `DESIGN.md` and the logo into `docs/` (just to keep the
  toplevel a bit cleaner), and separated the Contributing section of the
  README into `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (which github will automatically
  link on various issue and PR pages).

This leaves it so that:
- README.md is the only documentation at the toplevel (and will become
  just the high-level introduction as I add more user docs to `docs/`)
- GoDoc is only documentation for if you want to call genqlient
  programmatically (which is fairly limited as the API surface is quite
  small: it's now just Main, Generate, and Config, plus a constructor, a
  single method, and a bunch of fields on the latter)

In future commits, I'll add some more new documentation to the `docs`
directory.
