Issue with Newtonsoft.Json dependency

Description

I’m trying to use this library and I’m having the following issue:

The type provider ‘FSharp.Data.GraphQL.Client.GraphQlProvider’ reported an error: Could not load file or assembly ‘Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The paket.lock file says I have version Newtonsoft.Json (11.0.2) installed. I’m using the latest Fable.Compiler (1.3.17) which has a dependency on version 11.0.1 or later of Newtonsoft.

Repro steps

I added a dependency to this library using Paket in an existing project using the latest version of the Fable.Compiler and tried to open the module:

• Operating system: Windows 10
• .NET Runtime, CoreCLR or Mono Version: Target is netstandard2.0, I’m running on .net core 2.1

Tbh. I think, we could drop the json serializers all along. In essence when we construct a GraphQL response, we already produce a full JSON tree representation, that could be encoded as:

type GQLReply = 
    | GQInt     of int
    | GQLFloat  of double
    | GQLString of string
    | GQLBool   of bool
    | GQLNull
    | GQLList   of GQLReply list
    | GQLObj    of struct(string * GQLReply) list

You don’t need an entire JSON.NET to serialize such structure. A simple function can do that, see: https://github.com/Horusiath/Grafs/blob/8cf29fd50dc11ff21bc72c18d4794c009825745d/src/Grafs/Execution.fs#L33

I agree. We could work at this change ASAP, as this dependency can lead to many issues like that on the provider.
