Describe the feature you'd like to request

Currently, DataStore does not support models with circular references. For example this schema:

type SomeType {
  NewField: String
}

type TestModel @model @auth(rules: [{allow: public}]) {
  id: ID!
  untitledfield: [SomeType]
}

type MenuModel @model @auth(rules: [{allow: public}]) {
  id: ID!
  menu: Menu
}

type Menu {
  name: ID!
  submenus: [Menu]
}

calling initialize method will trigger the following error:

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
    at Object.toString (<anonymous>)
    at isGraphQLScalarType (types.ts:284:1)
    at utils.ts:126:1

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like DataStore to be able to handle circular dependencies

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've considered flattening my schema to remove recursive models, and using AppSync api calls directly instead of datastore
