Refine getNamedType() for Input and Output types (#3410)

Backport of #3063

This introduces type definitions `GraphQLNamedInputType` and `GraphQLNamedOutputType` as the subsets of `GraphQLNamedType`, and adds function overrides for `getNamedType()` such that if an input or output type is provided, one of these refined subset types is returned.
