Previously GraphQL field authorization happened like this:
class ProjectType
field :my_field, MyFieldType do
authorize :permission
end
end
This change allowed us to authorize like this instead:
class ProjectType
field :my_field, MyFieldType, authorize: :permission
end
A new initializer registers the `authorize` metadata keyword on GraphQL
Schema Objects and Fields, and we can collect this data within the
context of Instrumentation like this:
field.metadata[:authorize]
The previous functionality of authorize is still being used for
mutations, as the #authorize method here is called at during the code
that executes during the mutation, rather than when a field resolves.
