Expose the fields, their data types and options that exist in the project

• I checked all open feature requests and none of them matched my problem.

What’s missing?

The ability to see the current fields configuration for a project.

Why?

For my use case I need to list the available options for the built-in field status even if no items have that status set. Anyone who wants to discover how a project is configured would find the generally capability useful.

This seems really to just be modifying projectNodeToProperties() to not include fields from state.

There could be confusion in doing this in regards to the GitHubProject.fields property when doing this which from my understanding is about mapping/remapping the fields given back for each item.

I ignorantly thought this was all fields in the project, not those just mapped through with options.

Alternatives you tried

Could have written my own query but since everything was already loaded I just patched projectNodeToProperties().

Would you be interested in contributing the feature?

I would do a PR but not really comfortable with what do to testing-wise. Not 100% sure that ProjectFieldMap is the interface you want to expose either. For example it has the OptionsBy* which are somewhat internal.
