Issue:
Similar metrics on every apollo server request
## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In #247 we added `GraphQL/typedResolve/ApolloServer/<parentType>.<fieldName>` to further clarify the resolver names when they were ambiguous.  At the time we decided to keep the `GraphQL/resolve/ApolloServer/<fieldName>`.  You can get what you need from both typedResolve and there may not be a need for the resolve metrics.

## Feature Description
Only create `GraphQL/typedResolve/ApolloServer/<parentType>.<fieldName>`

## Describe Alternatives
We could provide another config to `config.captureTypedResolvers` and when true it will only create the typedResolve metric and when false it would only create the resolve metric.

## Additional context
There was a report from custuomers via GTS of metric explosion after upgrading to a version that has this.  We are still digging into  how much of an increase.  I don't see how it could be more than 1 additional metric per resolver though.

feat!: Removed GraphQL/typedResolve/ApolloServer/<parentType>.<resolver> in lieu of including the <parentType> in GraphQL/resolve/ApolloServer metrics

## Proposed Release Notes

## Links
Closes #283

## Details
We had complaints about producing very similar metrics.  You can still query what you need with this update that includes the parent type in all resolve metrics you just have to wildcard it.  This is a breaking change and is marked as such.

-### Commit Guidelines
-
-We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) to format commit messages for this repository. Conventional Commits provide a standardized format for commit messages that allows for automatic generation of changelogs and easy tracking of changes.
-
-When contributing to this repository, please ensure that your commit messages adhere to the Conventional Commit guidelines. Specifically, your commit messages should:
-
-* Start with a type, indicating the kind of change being made (e.g. `feat` for a new feature, `fix` for a bugfix, etc.). The types we support are:
-  * `build`: changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
-  * `chore`: changes that do not modify source or test files
-  * `ci`: changes to our CI configuration files and scripts
-  * `docs`: documentation additions or updates
-  * `feat`: new features or capabilities added to the agent
-  * `fix`: bugfixes or corrections to existing functionality
-  * `perf`: performance improvements
-  * `refactor`: changes that do not add new feature or fix bugs, but improve code structure or readability
-  * `revert`: revert a previous commit
-  * `security`: changes related to the security of the agent, including the updating of dependencies due to CVE
-  * `style` - changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (e.g. formatting, white-space, etc.)
-  * `test` - adding new tests or modifying existing tests
-* Use the imperative, present tense (e.g. "add feature" instead of "added feature")
-* Optionally, include a scope in parantheses after the type to indicate which part of the repository is affected (e.g. `feat(instrumentation): add support for Prisma Client`)
-
-Please note that we use the [Squash and Merge](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/incorporating-changes-from-a-pull-request/about-pull-request-merges#squash-and-merge-your-commits) method when merging Pull Requests into the main branch. We do not use the original commit messages from each individual commit. Instead, we use the Pull Request title as the commit message for the squashed commit, and as such, require that the Pull Request title adheres to our Conventional Commit standards. Any additional documentation or information relevant to the release notes should be added to the "optional extended description" section of the squash commit on merge.
