Don't override custom code extensions from scalar parseValue errors

Adding `BAD_USER_INPUT` is a nice default (and overrides the
inappropriate default of `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`) but if somebody has
set a `code` already, we shouldn't override.

(Note that there's a separate issue where graphql-js throws out
extensions from the thrown error itself and only pays attention to
extensions on the error's originalError; we're trying to fix that in
graphql/graphql-js#3785 but this is orthogonal.)

Fixes #7178.

+Apollo Server tries to detect if execution errors are variable coercion errors in order to give them a `code` extension of `BAD_USER_INPUT` rather than `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`. Previously this would unconditionally set the `code`; now, it only sets the `code` if no `code` is already set, so that (for example) custom scalar `parseValue` methods can throw errors with specific `code`s. (Note that a separate graphql-js bug can lead to these extensions being lost; see https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/pull/3785 for details.)
