Pruning unused declarations after mutation
When you mutate an executable document, fragments or variables that were previously in use may become unused. Currently the user is responsible for tracking this and pruning the now-unused definitions, otherwise the mutated document is invalid. It's not that trivial to do given that usages may occur anywhere in the document. I think it would be better if apollo-rs can do this. It may just have to be something like document.prune_unused() at the minimum, but maybe we can figure out something more ergonomic (eg. combining validation and pruning into a single method, since you would normally want to do this at the point where you finish mutating and turn your document into a Valid<ExecutableDocument>)
