Add encodeEntityId/decodeEntityId helpers

[wKich]

Motivation

Sometimes users might write custom resolvers for graphql-plugin, for example they want to query backstage catalog first and then pass received entities further in a graphql query, so entities must be transformed to graphql NodeIds. It's possible to use encodeId from hydraphql for that, but it's a little overwhelming and not intuitive, because it requires some internal context of NodeId type structure.

Approach

Simplify encoding NodeIds and provide function that took Entity or EntityRef as an input and return encoded NodeId string back.

It's difficult for me to review, because I don't understand how it's supposed to be used. Would you be able to update documentation to explain how to use it?
