Description

To make git management of changes easier, it's nice if lines aren't too long. Some of the lines emitted by graphql-code-generator can be excessively large which results in hard to review diffs. This PR aims to introduce newline splits in a few more places to make changes more surgical.

Further comments

I've currently gated this behind the printFieldsOnNewLines setting which seems related; I don't know if you'd want separate settings for each change, or a more general useNewlinesForUnions setting, or...?

This is also not an exhaustive change that adds newlines to all unions.
