Require opting into SchemaLink validation.

Follow-up to #7094, to avoid enabling validation by default, since
@apollo/[email protected] is not a major release.

 - In addition to the `result.data` property, `useQuery` and `useLazyQuery` will now provide a `result.previousData` property, which can be useful when a network request is pending and `result.data` is undefined, since `result.previousData` can be rendered instead of rendering an empty/loading state. <br/>

-- The schema link package (`@apollo/client/link/schema`) will now validate incoming queries against its client-side schema, and return `errors` as a GraphQL server would. <br/>
+- Passing `validate: true` to the `SchemaLink` constructor will enable validation of incoming queries against the local schema before execution, returning validation errors in `result.errors`, just like a non-local GraphQL endpoint typically would. <br/>

 - Allow optional arguments in `keyArgs: [...]` arrays for `InMemoryCache` field policies. <br/>
