Only check abilities on rendered GraphQL nodes

What does this MR do?

Instead of checking abilities on all nodes in a GraphQL connection, we only check the ones that are being rendered. Normally, the user should have access to all the allowed objects. But we do validate this on the GraphQL type as that could be used in places where the object loaded is not authorized.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
