Draft: GitHub Import using Graphql

Rodrigo Tomonari requested to merge rodrigo/poc-graphql into master

What does this MR do and why?

This POC shows how we could use GraphQL to reduce the requests required to migrate a project from GitHub.

The POC replaces the Stage::ImportPullRequestsMergedByWorker, Stage::ImportPullRequestsReviewRequestsWorker, Stage::ImportPullRequestsReviewsWorker and Stage::ImportIssueEventsWorker stages with the Stage::ImportPullRequestsResourcesWorker

Including comments in the GraphQL query would also be possible, so we could also eliminate the Stage::ImportNotesWorker. However, I didn't implement it since this is a POC.

One GraphQL call is called per pull request to keep the code simple. However, we could change the query to return multiple pull requests to improve GitHub Import speed since this would return more information per request.
