+Fix `mappers` usage with Federation
+
+`mappers` was previously used as `__resolveReference`'s first param (usually called "reference"). However, this is incorrect because `reference` interface comes directly from `@key` and `@requires` directives. This patch fixes the issue by creating a new `FederationTypes` type and use it as the base for federation entity types when being used to type entity references
