Description

Reopening with reference to: https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/issues/83

To quote @adamcharnock from https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/issues/83

When a DjangoConnectionField traverses a many-to-many field it would be nice to have the option to expose the fields of any through-table on the edges of the relationship.

Research direction
Examine the referenced issue #83 and current implementation of DjangoConnectionField. The goal is to allow exposing fields from the through model on edges of a ManyToMany relation. Consider adding a parameter like 'through fields' to the connection field that specifies which fields to include. Look at the graphene django source for edge definitions and connection field classes.
