GAP-1003: @streamPolicy Directive

This release adds an ordering hint to stream policy.

1Overview

The directive MAY appear on field definitions.

  mode: StreamMode!
  ordered: Boolean = true
) on FIELD_DEFINITION

2Motivation

Some streamed fields can be delivered out of order while others are only useful when ordering is preserved.
