Support schema imports

[kbrandwijk]

It would be great if the datasource boilerplate would include support for import statements in schemas. See https://github.com/graphcool/graphql-import for details.

This could be a build step (using the graphql-cli bundle command) or a run-time step (using importSchema().

We ran into some issues with this previously. @ryanomackey was trying to get importSchema() working, and it kept throwing errors. We ended up moving on to other work and haven't revisited this.

That being said, I'd love to have support for it. Any chance you've got time to put together a PR?

[kbrandwijk]

Would you want this compile-time or run-time?

[jlengstorf]

It would need to work with the gramps dev command (which transpiles code). As long as the CLI still works, I don't have a strong preference.

Relevant code for transpilation in the CLI:
