Introduce option to use individual Apollo requests

This MR introduces an option on the Apollo client which allows a developer to specify if they'd rather make use of single requests instead of having all requests batched.

This introduces a performance benefit when a Vue component has data which needs to be returned from multiple queries, and some of the queries are potentially long running.

Screenshots

Note the visual changes of each loading icon completing individually in the second example. This results in a faster time to first visual change.
