Description

It would be nice to feature-gate our GraphQL support, especially in linera-views, since some users may not be interested in it.

Research direction
First, examine how other features are gated in the linera protocol repository by checking Cargo.toml files for existing feature flags. Then, focus on the linera views crate to identify the current GraphQL integration points. The goal is to wrap GraphQL related code behind a feature flag, e.g., `graphql`, and adjust dependencies accordingly. Look at similar contributions in the project's history, such as PRs that added feature gates, for guidance. There are no linked PRs or comments, so the work is straightforward.
