Package rename

[jaydenseric]

It is time to drop apollo from the apollo-upload-server package name as this package is also useful for non-Apollo GraphQL servers and clients.

Anyone have any tips for renaming a package? I have never done it before and it seems like an inherently disruptive thing to do.

I'm thinking:

• Research and achieve compatibility with other Node.js GraphQL servers, i.e. express-graphql.
• Rename this repo in GitHub. GitHub automatically redirects people visiting old URLs.
• Rename the package in package.json and anywhere else the name appears.
• Publish the the new package.
• Deprecate the old package, advising to switch to the new package.

I'll think about it for a bit before doing it 😅

I've found this package to be compatible with:

• graphql-api-koa
• express-graphql
• apollo-server

graphql-upload-server <-- This is available npm package name, you could use it. 😄

All done 🎉

I just published graphql-upload, you can see the changelog entry for a migration guide.

Here is the deprecation warning everyone sees when attempting to install apollo-upload-server:

Really happy with the change, it looks so clean and logical everywhere now 😍
