## Summary:
Right now, if you make a query like `{ myInterface { field } }`, you
have to type-switch on all the possible implementations of `myInterface`
to get at `field`. Now, we generate getter-methods (e.g. `GetField`),
to make that access easier. Of course this only applies to shared
fields (which for now are the only ones, but once we support fragments
will no longer be).
This also includes a small change to the way we generate type-names for
interfaces: we no longer include the name of the concrete type in the
interface we propagate forward, so we generate
`MyInterfaceMyFieldMyType`, not `MyInterfaceMyImplMyFieldMyType`, in the
case where you have an interface `MyInterface` implemented by `MyImpl`
(and maybe other types) with field `myField: MyType`. This is necessary
so the getter method returns a well-defined type, and also probably
convenient for calling code. It will have to get a little bit more
complicated once we support fragments, where you could have two
implementing types with identically-named fields of different types, but
I think it'll be easiest to figure out how to deal with that when
implementing fragments.
While I was in the area, I added to the interface doc-comment a list of
the implementations. (In GraphQL, we're guaranteed to know them all
assuming our schema is up to date.)

## Summary:
In this commit I remove one of the limitations of our support for
interfaces, from #52, by adding support for list-of-interface fields.
This was surprisingly complex! The issue is that, as before, it's the
containing type that has to do all the glue work -- and it's that glue
work that is complicated by list-of-interface fields.
All in all, it's not that much new code, and by far the hard part is
just 20 lines in the UnmarshalJSON template (which come with almost
twice as many lines of comments to explain them). It may be easiest to
start by reading some of the generated code, and then read the template.
I also added support for such fields with `pointer: true` specified,
such that the type is `[][]...[]*MyInterface`, although I don't know why
you would want that. This does *not* allow e.g. `*[]*[][]*MyInterface`;
that would require a way to specify it (see #16) but also add some extra
complexity (as we'd have to actually walk the type-unwrap chain
properly, instead of just counting the number of slices and whether
there's a pointer).

## 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.

## Summary:
It would be nice to have some linting beyond `go vet`! Now we do. I
started by copying the config from Khan/webapp. I did remove a couple
of staticcheck checks that I didn't feel were useful. (Note also that
exportloopref is the replacement for scopelint in newer golangci-lint.)
Included are all the needed lint fixes; most are stylistic but the
changes in the example are a (minor) bugfix.
Fixes#22.
