Editorial: Define _response map_

This creates a definition for Response Map, defined as the map normally returned by graphql queries and mutations containing data and/or errors.

The definition of Response is updated to include both Response Map, and Response Stream (for subscriptions).

For Incremental Delivery I plan on updating Response to also include _Incremental Stream_.
