add GraphQL API field Query.namespaceByName for easy user/org lookup by name

Warren Gifford requested to merge sqs/namespace-by-name into main

Created by: sqs

The new GraphQL API query field namespaceByName(name: String!) makes it easier to look up the user or organization with the given name. Previously callers needed to try looking up the user and organization separately.

Namespaces are used by campaigns and extensions. For example, a campaign alice/my-campaign is in the alice namespace, which (presumably) refers to a user with username alice. A campaign named acme-corp/foo is owned by the acme-corp organization.

The src campaign apply -namespace ... CLI command will use the new namespaceByName field to simplify resolution of the given namespace name (such as alice or acme-corp) to the node ID (of the user or organization whose name was given). Without namespaceByName, it (and other callers) needed to look up both user(name: "foo") and organization(name: "foo") separately, which is repetitive, error-prone, and brittle (if we ever add another type of thing that can be a namespace).
