Implement GraphQL API as an alternative to REST endpoints

[Abdulazeem-code]

Description

Add a GraphQL API layer to allow flexible querying for the frontend, alongside the existing REST endpoints.

Proposed Solution

Integrate Apollo Server with Express. Define a GraphQL schema that mirrors the Prisma schema, and write resolvers that utilize the existing database services.

Acceptance Criteria

• Apollo Server configured and attached to Express
• Queries and Mutations implemented for core entities
• Authentication context properly passed to resolvers

Suggested Implementation Areas

src/server.js, src/graphql/ (new directory)

Impact

Improves frontend performance by preventing over-fetching and under-fetching of data.
