Appwrite GraphQL API

Appwrite exposes its full backend API surface through a GraphQL endpoint that mirrors every REST operation. All services — Account, Databases, Storage, Functions, Teams, Locale, Messaging, and Users — are accessible as GraphQL queries (for GET operations) and mutations (for POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE operations). The schema is generated dynamically from Appwrite's route definitions, so field names follow the pattern of `{namespace}{MethodName}` (e.g., `accountGet`, `databasesListDocuments`, `storageCreateFile`). Appwrite uses `_` instead of `$` for internal model fields in GraphQL (e.g., `_id`, `_createdAt`, `_permissions`), because `$` is reserved in GraphQL syntax.
