Description
### Which packages are impacted by your issue?
@graphql-codegen/cli, @graphql-codegen/add, @graphql-codegen/typescript-operations, @graphql-codegen/typescript
### Describe the bug
The issue is that as soon as I add a WPGraphQL Gutenberg query, which has some nested `blocks`->`innerBlocks`->..., the whole CLI crashes after it hung up for a few minutes, trying to create a gigantic infinite nested schema file.
### Your Example Website or App
https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-gsvfa1
### Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue
Open the Stackblitz, try to run `npm run dev`. You will see that it gets stuck while trying to generate the schema and after a few minutes, will throw a JS heap out of memory error.
### Expected behavior
I expect the CLI to have a mechanism built-in that stops the infinite nesting type generation at e.g. 10 nesting levels and just adds "any". This could be configurable.
