Revisit input coercion validation and execution rules (#1347)

[tyranron]

Part of #1347

Synopsis

At the moment, juniper is over-restrictive regarding input coercion, rejecting situations that should be allowed.

Example

struct Query;

#[graphql_object]
impl Query {
    fn field(#[graphql(default = "defaultValue")] arg: String) -> String {
        arg
    }
}

And the following GraphQL query

query ($var: String) {
  field(arg: $var)
}

is rejected with validation error Variable "var" of type "String" used in position expecting type "String!", but should be allowed according to spec.

Solution

Revisit validation and execution to fully comply with CoerceVariableValues() and CoerceArgumentValues() algorithms.

Cover all the situations with an extensive test suite.
