This commit applies ormolu to the whole Haskell code base by running `make format`.
For in-flight branches, simply merging changes from `main` will result in merge conflicts.
To avoid this, update your branch using the following instructions. Replace `<format-commit>`
by the hash of *this* commit.
$ git checkout my-feature-branch
$ git merge <format-commit>^ # and resolve conflicts normally
$ make format
$ git commit -a -m "reformat with ormolu"
$ git merge -s ours post-ormolu

Remote relationships are now supported on SQL Server and BigQuery. The major change though is the re-architecture of remote join execution logic. Prior to this PR, each backend is responsible for processing the remote relationships that are part of their AST.
This is not ideal as there is nothing specific about a remote join's execution that ties it to a backend. The only backend specific part is whether or not the specification of the remote relationship is valid (i.e, we'll need to validate whether the scalars are compatible).
The approach now changes to this:
1. Before delegating the AST to the backend, we traverse the AST, collect all the remote joins while modifying the AST to add necessary join fields where needed.
1. Once the remote joins are collected from the AST, the database call is made to fetch the response. The necessary data for the remote join(s) is collected from the database's response and one or more remote schema calls are constructed as necessary.
1. The remote schema calls are then executed and the data from the database and from the remote schemas is joined to produce the final response.
### Known issues
1. Ideally the traversal of the IR to collect remote joins should return an AST which does not include remote join fields. This operation can be type safe but isn't taken up as part of the PR.
1. There is a lot of code duplication between `Transport/HTTP.hs` and `Transport/Websocket.hs` which needs to be fixed ASAP. This too hasn't been taken up by this PR.
1. The type which represents the execution plan is only modified to handle our current remote joins and as such it will have to be changed to accommodate general remote joins.
1. Use of lenses would have reduced the boilerplate code to collect remote joins from the base AST.
1. The current remote join logic assumes that the join columns of a remote relationship appear with their names in the database response. This however is incorrect as they could be aliased. This can be taken up by anyone, I've left a comment in the code.
### Notes to the reviewers
I think it is best reviewed commit by commit.
1. The first one is very straight forward.
1. The second one refactors the remote join execution logic but other than moving things around, it doesn't change the user facing functionality. This moves Postgres specific parts to `Backends/Postgres` module from `Execute`. Some IR related code to `Hasura.RQL.IR` module. Simplifies various type class function signatures as a backend doesn't have to handle remote joins anymore
1. The third one fixes partial case matches that for some weird reason weren't shown as warnings before this refactor
1. The fourth one generalizes the validation logic of remote relationships and implements `scalarTypeGraphQLName` function on SQL Server and BigQuery which is used by the validation logic. This enables remote relationships on BigQuery and SQL Server.

docker image - `hasura/graphql-engine:inherited-roles-preview-48b73a2de`
Note:
To be able to use the inherited roles feature, the graphql-engine should be started with the env variable `HASURA_GRAPHQL_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES` set to `inherited_roles`.
Introduction
------------
This PR implements the idea of multiple roles as presented in this [paper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FGALanguageICDE07.pdf). The multiple roles feature in this PR can be used via inherited roles. An inherited role is a role which can be created by combining multiple singular roles. For example, if there are two roles `author` and `editor` configured in the graphql-engine, then we can create a inherited role with the name of `combined_author_editor` role which will combine the select permissions of the `author` and `editor` roles and then make GraphQL queries using the `combined_author_editor`.
How are select permissions of different roles are combined?
------------------------------------------------------------
A select permission includes 5 things:
1. Columns accessible to the role
2. Row selection filter
3. Limit
4. Allow aggregation
5. Scalar computed fields accessible to the role
Suppose there are two roles, `role1` gives access to the `address` column with row filter `P1` and `role2` gives access to both the `address` and the `phone` column with row filter `P2` and we create a new role `combined_roles` which combines `role1` and `role2`.
Let's say the following GraphQL query is queried with the `combined_roles` role.
```graphql
query {
employees {
address
phone
}
}
```
This will translate to the following SQL query:
```sql
select
(case when (P1 or P2) then address else null end) as address,
(case when P2 then phone else null end) as phone
from employee
where (P1 or P2)
```
The other parameters of the select permission will be combined in the following manner:
1. Limit - Minimum of the limits will be the limit of the inherited role
2. Allow aggregations - If any of the role allows aggregation, then the inherited role will allow aggregation
3. Scalar computed fields - same as table column fields, as in the above example
APIs for inherited roles:
----------------------
1. `add_inherited_role`
`add_inherited_role` is the [metadata API](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/api-reference/index.html#schema-metadata-api) to create a new inherited role. It accepts two arguments
`role_name`: the name of the inherited role to be added (String)
`role_set`: list of roles that need to be combined (Array of Strings)
Example:
```json
{
"type": "add_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user",
"role_set":[
"user",
"user1"
]
}
}
```
After adding the inherited role, the inherited role can be used like single roles like earlier
Note:
An inherited role can only be created with non-inherited/singular roles.
2. `drop_inherited_role`
The `drop_inherited_role` API accepts the name of the inherited role and drops it from the metadata. It accepts a single argument:
`role_name`: name of the inherited role to be dropped
Example:
```json
{
"type": "drop_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user"
}
}
```
Metadata
---------
The derived roles metadata will be included under the `experimental_features` key while exporting the metadata.
```json
{
"experimental_features": {
"derived_roles": [
{
"role_name": "manager_is_employee_too",
"role_set": [
"employee",
"manager"
]
}
]
}
}
```
Scope
------
Only postgres queries and subscriptions are supported in this PR.
Important points:
-----------------
1. All columns exposed to an inherited role will be marked as `nullable`, this is done so that cell value nullification can be done.
TODOs
-------
- [ ] Tests
- [ ] Test a GraphQL query running with a inherited role without enabling inherited roles in experimental features
- [] Tests for aggregate queries, limit, computed fields, functions, subscriptions (?)
- [ ] Introspection test with a inherited role (nullability changes in a inherited role)
- [ ] Docs
- [ ] Changelog
