Map UUID keys as GraphQL "ID" type

See original GitHub issue

Currently, Hasura creates a new scalar type called uuid for UUID keys. Because it’s a non-standard type, using it with clients usually means jumping through some hoops to treat the value as a string. But, that’s really all the standard ID type does anyway, as far as I know. I think if this type were remapped in the schema, it’d improve the ergonomics of working with a Hasura-based GraphQL server.

@coco98 @tirumaraiselvan Is there anything I can do to help move this along? This became a blocker for a project and I unfortunately haven’t used Hasura much since. I could take a crack at a PR, but I don’t want to sink time into something that’s already being worked on. I also would hate to do it up and find out it doesn’t match internal design goals.
