This diff introduces a "peeking" behavior in the optimizer, to look ahead at the types we would have generated for a given AST node, and use that to de-dupe types before emission.
This means our optimizer can now more efficiently de-dupe AST nodes (avoiding general-purpose JSON serialization), significantly improving performance in cases where schemas emit large unions of complex types.
This supersedes the bandaid we were using before, where we tried to "safely" JSON stringify to compare AST nodes. It also supersedes #424, as well as the more complex hashcode-based approach I prototyped in #446.
