The previous test didn't really make use of the fact that the AbortSignal could be used in the resolver: the only use it made of it was to call `signal.throwIfAborted` *after* the cancellable promise was already cancelled. The "This operation was aborted" message that shows up in the GraphQL response actually came from the cancellable promise, not the throwIfAborted call. You can see that because if you just replace `throwIfAborted` with throwing another error (as this commit does), the test still passed. Instead, actually make use of the AbortSignal API to observe the abort explicitly.
In graphql#4261 (not yet released in v17) we made abortSignal available to resolvers via a fifth argument to the field resolver. Among other things, this means that any code that processes schemas to wrap resolvers in other functions would have to be aware of this one new feature and specially thread through the new behavior. It also changed the TypeScript signature of GraphQLFieldResolver to *require* passing the fifth argument (even if undefined). But the field resolver interface already has a place for GraphQL-JS to put a grab-bag of helpful named objects for use by resolvers: `GraphQLResolveInfo`. This PR (which is not backwards compatible with v17.0.0-alpha.8, but is backwards-compatible with v16) moves the abortSignal into `GraphQLResolveInfo`.

AS4 is tested against v16 and v17.0.0-alpha.2. They've made it to v17.0.0-alpha.8 by now. We don't build against that alpha for reasons that are fixed by graphql/graphql-js#4425. This commit is based on installing a build of that PR (downloaded from its GH action artifact `npmDist`, unzipped, and `npm pack`'d') and trying to get tests to pass. These tests should pass with v16, v17.0.0-alpha.2, and the #4425 custom build. Incremental delivery tests do NOT pass with the custom build, because the incremental delivery protocol has changed and we haven't updated yet. Smoke test also doesn't pass yet for at least the reason that we haven't asked it to install the right prerelease. Changes include: - Both AS itself and integration tests depend on the particular wording of some error messages, which have changed. (Once we can drop v16 support, AS proper won't need that hack any more, but we're not there yet.) - For some reason we tested the exact size of the JSON serialization of a GraphQL-JS AST in documentStore.test.ts. - One subscriptionCallback debug log line was occurred one tick later with the newer module. I added `await setImmediate` so that it now *consistently* shows up in that slightly later spot.

In #4261 (not yet released in v17) we made abortSignal available to
resolvers via a fifth argument to the field resolver. Among other
things, this means that any code that processes schemas to wrap
resolvers in other functions would have to be aware of this one new
feature and specially thread through the new behavior. It also changed
the TypeScript signature of GraphQLFieldResolver to require passing

GraphQLResolveInfo.This PR (which is not backwards compatible with v17.0.0-alpha.8, but is
backwards-compatible with v16) moves the abortSignal into
GraphQLResolveInfo.It also improves the test of this feature to actually make use of the
AbortSignal API (the previous test actually passes when this change
is made, without changing the test to find the AbortSignal in the new
location).
