Description
### Feature description
When dynamically adding fields using the GraphQLObjectType_fields hook, a type is required.
However, creating a type using the existing api is quite intricate. For example, creating a type like `[Orders!]!` requires something along these lines: `new build.graphql.GraphQLNonNull(new build.graphql.GraphQLList(new build.graphql.GraphQLNonNull(build.getTypeByName('Orders'))))`
Maybe a utility method to parse a type string like `'[Orders!]!'` and return a type instance?
