Example in Readme: making a GraphQL request #501

There's some buzz on Canvas working toward releasing more GraphQL APIs, particularly with the New Quizzes API coming in the near future. It looks like that will be a GraphQL endpoint.

I know the library can make GraphQL requests, but an example (for those of us with no experience in making them) would be great along with the other getting started examples.

Hi @bennettscience

I used this script when I was testing the implementation of this. I verified that this is still working. https://gist.github.com/jonespm/b8b493da4ef385a60f49ca355a8043c3

I think we've used this call a few times internally as well. I thought it could be cool if this library was able to auto-translate some of the common methods to GraphQL calls instead to improve performance but never got around to working on that.
