GraphQL API #133

~Seriously? 😬~

Apparently this is actually a good idea.

I had a stab at this today: image It's built on top of the standard REST API, and turns one GraphQL request into >300 API calls, so there's room for improvement there 😄. I think it's not a bad idea to use the REST API at least at first because it will be fairly easy to replace that with SQL calls if we want to set it up beside the REST API later.

There's no dynamic json-schema -> GraphQL schema generation yet (I just coded in dataset-distributions and source-link-status to test the idea), but I'll set that up soon.
