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.

## Test plan:
make check (and read the docs)

Tests

To run tests and lint, make check. (GitHub Actions also runs them.)

Notes for contributors:

  • Most of the tests are snapshot-based; see generate/generate_test.go. All new code-generation logic should be snapshot-tested. Some code additionally has standalone unit tests, when convenient.
  • Integration tests run against a gqlgen server in internal/integration/integration_test.go, and should cover everything that snapshot tests can't, including the GraphQL client code and JSON marshaling.
  • If GITHUB_TOKEN is available in the environment, it also checks that the example returns the expected output when run against the real API. This is configured automatically in GitHub Actions, but you can also use a personal access token with no scopes. There's no need for this to cover anything in particular; it's just to make sure the example in fact works.
