Allow non-trivial root __typename-only queries when introspection is disabled

[SimonSapin]

Even though we use the same executor as for schema introspection, queries that only use __typename should not be rejected when schema introspection is disabled.

Also fixes https://github.com/apollographql/router/issues/6154: these tests were using #[should_panic] without an expected message. At some point the underlying bug was fixed but these tests still panicked for a different reason, so we didn’t notice at the time.
