Extensions for writing GraphQL schemas with the [graphene-django] library with less boilerplate.

The main features are:

- A new ObjectType `DjangoNode`, which:
    - adds convenience methods for managing permissions for both the ObjectType and individual fields.
    - adds a hook for adding filtering to both single items and lists returned by the ObjectType.
    - adds convenience methods for creating Fields, ListFields, Nodes, and Connections for the ObjectType.
    - adds filterset filters automatically to ListFields created for the ObjectType.
    - automatically optimizes queries using [graphene-django-query-optimizer].

- A new MutationType `DjangoMutation`, which:
    - adds convenience methods for managing permissions.
    - adds `create`, `update` operation with serializers and `delete` operations with optional validation hook.
    - adds an option for custom model operations.
    - makes updates fully partial by default.
    - adds better error handling.

- A new ModelSerializer `NestingModelSerializer`, which:
    - adds pre and post save handlers for creating or updating related entities from nested serializer fields,
      all within a single transaction to ensure atomicity.
    - adds better handling of constraint integrity errors by finding `violation_error_message` from the constraint.
    - adds `get_or_default` method for finding default values for field validation.

- A new FilterSet `ModelFilterSet`, which:
    - changes the default filters for related fields to the custom `IntChoiceFilter` and `IntMultipleChoiceFilter`
      filters, which don't make database queries to check if the given primary keys for the filters actually
      correspond to existing rows for the database model.
    - adds a custom ordering filter automatically to all subclasses, with the default `pk` filter.
    - allows adding new ordering filters with the `Meta.order_by` attribute.
    - `order_by` fields are converted to enums for better autocompletion in GraphiQL.
    - allows combining multiple method filters with the `Meta.combination_methods` attribute.
