This PR is on top of #7789.
### Description
This PR entirely rewrites the API of the Tracing library, to make `interpTraceT` a thing of the past. Before this change, we ran traces by sticking a `TraceT` on top of whatever we were doing. This had several major drawbacks:
- we were carrying a bunch of `TraceT` across the codebase, and the entire codebase had to know about it
- we needed to carry a second class constraint around (`HasReporterM`) to be able to run all of those traces
- we kept having to do stack rewriting with `interpTraceT`, which went from inconvenient to horrible
- we had to declare several behavioral instances on `TraceT m`
This PR rewrite all of `Tracing` using a more conventional model: there is ONE `TraceT` at the bottom of the stack, and there is an associated class constraint `MonadTrace`: any part of the code that happens to satisfy `MonadTrace` is able to create new traces. We NEVER have to do stack rewriting, `interpTraceT` is gone, and `TraceT` and `Reporter` become implementation details that 99% of the code is blissfully unaware of: code that needs to do tracing only needs to declare that the monad in which it operates implements `MonadTrace`.
In doing so, this PR revealed **several bugs in the codebase**: places where we were expecting to trace something, but due to the default instance of `HasReporterM IO` we would actually not do anything. This PR also splits the code of `Tracing` in more byte-sized modules, with the goal of potentially moving to `server/lib` down the line.
### Remaining work
This PR is a draft; what's left to do is:
- [x] make Pro compile; i haven't updated `HasuraPro/Main` yet
- [x] document Tracing by writing a note that explains how to use the library, and the meaning of "reporter", "trace" and "span", as well as the pitfalls
- [x] discuss some of the trade-offs in the implementation, which is why i'm opening this PR already despite it not fully building yet
- [x] it depends on #7789 being merged first

### Description
Each Backend executes queries against the database in a slightly different stack: Postgres uses its own `TXeT`, MSSQL uses a variant of it, BigQuery is simply in `ExceptT QErr IO`... To accommodate those variations, we had originally introduced an `ExecutionMonad b` type family in `BackendExecute`, allowing each backend to describe its own stack. It was then up to that backend's `BackendTransport` instance to implement running said stack, and converting the result back into our main app monad.
However, this was not without complications: `TraceT` is one of them: as it usually needs to be on the top of the stack, converting from one stack to the other implies the use `interpTraceT`, which is quite monstrous. Furthermore, as part of the Entitlement Services work, we're trying to move to a "Services" architecture in which the entire engine runs in one base monad, that delegates features and dependencies to monad constraints; and as a result we'd like to minimize the number of different monad stacks we have to maintain and translate from and to in the codebase.
To improve things, this PR changes `ExecutionMonad b` from an _absolute_ stack to a _relative_ one: i.e.: what needs to be stacked on top of our base monad for the execution. In `Transport`, we then only need to pop the top of the stack, and voila. This greatly simplifies the implementation of the backends, as there's no longer any need to do any stack transformation: MySQL's implementation becomes a `runIdentityT`! This also removes most mentions of `TraceT` from the execution code since it's no longer required: we can rely on the base monad's existing `MonadTrace` constraint.
To continue encapsulating monadic actions in `DBStepInfo` and avoid threading a bunch of `forall` all over the place, this PR introduces a small local helper: `OnBaseMonad`. One only downside of all this is that this requires adding `MonadBaseControl IO m` constraint all over the place: previously, we would run directly on `IO` and lift, and would therefore not need to bring that constraint all the way.

Hooks up event trigger codecs from #7237. This required fixing a problem where some backend types implemented `defaultTriggerOnReplication` with `error` which caused the server to crash when evaluating those for default values in codecs. The changes here add a type family to `Backend` called `XEventTriggers` that signals backend support for event triggers, and changes the type of `defaultTriggerOnReplication` to from `TriggerOnReplication` to `Maybe (XEventTriggers b, TriggerOnReplication)` so that it can only be implemented with a `Just` value if `XEventTriggers b` is inhabited. This emulates some existing type families in `Backend`. (Thanks to @daniel-chambers for this suggestion!)
I used the implementation of `defaultTriggerOnReplication` as a signal for event triggers support to prune the Metadata API so that event trigger fields will not appear in the OpenAPI spec for backend types that do not support event triggers. The codec version of the API will also not emit or accept those fields for those backend types. I think I could use `Typeable` to test whether `XEventTriggers` is `Void` instead of testing whether `defaultTriggerOnReplication` is `Nothing`. But the codec implementation will crash anyway if `defaultTriggerOnReplication` is `Nothing`.
I checked to make sure that graphql-engine-pro still compiles.
