Considering specifying a more recent version of federation and their default directives

[mlcooper]

Is there an existing issue that is already proposing this?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

I am curious why in the latest version of @nestjs/graphql, the default decorator list is still pulling in directives from v2.3 of federation instead of upgrading this block to pull in a more recent version.

I am asking because we are starting to use @policy more frequently as well as @cacheTag as these are powerful features.

Thanks!

Describe the solution you'd like

By default specify v2.12 with the appropriate defaults.
