Additional method signatures for type extensions to remove the need for attributes

[sunefred]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently using type extensions, such as extending "Query", "Mutation" or others, require you to use the ExtendObjectTypeAttribute. For a project that does not otherwise require attributes this seems forced.

Describe the solution you'd like Add the following two additional IRequestExecutorBuilder extension methods for use in Startup.

AddTypeExtension<TExtension, TExtends>(this IRequestExecutorBuilder builder);
AddTypeExtension<TExtension>(this IRequestExecutorBuilder builder, Type extendsType);

Bump. I think this is a good addition.

'ExtendObjectTypeAttribute' translates to an ObjectTypeExtension meaning we would need to introduce something like an AddObjectTypeExtension.

[michaelstaib]

AddObjectTypeExtension <TExtension>(this IRequestExecutorBuilder builder, Action<IObjectTypeDescriptor<TExtension>> configure);

I will move this back to the backlog for another release. For now you can substitute this on your own .... essentially wrap the T into ObjectTypeExtension<T>() and pass in the descriptor delegate to bind it to name or type.
