Prefer Inferred Types over unknown types While Merging When Two Types Have Similar Fields

[amitksingh1490]

Issue Description

When merging types in the generated GraphQL config, if two types have exactly similar fields but differ only by unknown (empty) types, the known type should be given preference. Enable this behavior, configurable via a flag.

Example:

Given the following types:

type A {
  brand: String
  discountApplicable: Boolean
  id: String
  imported: Boolean
  minimumRequiredAge: Int
  name: String
  pharmaceuticalInfo: Empty
  primarySubcategoryId: String
}

type B {
  brand: String
  discountApplicable: Boolean
  id: String
  imported: Boolean
  minimumRequiredAge: Int
  name: String
  pharmaceuticalInfo: Empty
  primarySubcategoryId: Empty
}

Current Behavior:

• The types A and B are treated as distinct types due to the presence of Empty fields.

Expected Behavior:

• Types A and B should be merged, giving preference to known types over Empty.

Requested Feature:

• Add a flag to enable inferring types while merging, with preference for known types over Empty.
• The feature should be configurable via a flag in the configuration file.
