This pull request addresses the issue where lists in GraphQL may have no fields that should be publicly described in the GraphQL.
This scenario can come up for lists with items that completely derive their content from other sources, and thus no fields need be exposed; but you may still want to support users to create items in these lists.
Previously, developers worked around this problem with custom mutations or by retaining at least one field, relevant or not. This pull request eliminates the need for these workarounds by adding support using an empty object GraphQL scalar.
