Graphql-code-generator: Add option to use rawRequest for graphql-request

[flybayer]

I'm using the graphql-request plugin for use with Shopify's API. They use the extensions response for telling you your rate-limit status, so it's essential to have this info.

graphql-request supports this by using rawRequest instead of request.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want a config option in the yml file to use rawRequest instead of request

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative is using patch-package to patch this in my project.

Additional context

Here's the patch-package diff I'm using as a work around:
