Summary
Removes the stale SDL grammar allowance for descriptions directly before schema root operation type mappings, e.g. inside schema { "desc" query: Query }.
This aligns GraphQL Java with the GraphQL spec and graphql-js: schema definitions can have descriptions, but RootOperationTypeDefinition / OperationTypeDefinition itself does not.
Background
The description? on operationTypeDefinition was introduced by PR #706 while adding block strings and SDL descriptions from issue #685. It appears to have been a broad grammar change rather than intentional support for root operation mapping descriptions: the parser never preserved this description on OperationTypeDefinition, and the AST printer/schema generator do not expose it.
