+Prevented parsing the GraphQL schema twice.
+- `keystone.getTypeDefs` now returns the parsed GraphQL AST instead of the raw SDL.
+- `keystone.dumpSchema` now returns a the GraphQL schema as a string instead of writing it to file. Additionally, its first `file` argument was removed and now only takes a the schema name, which defaults to `public`.
