The module `Hasura.SQL.AnyBackend` was introduced (in #751) to centralize the logic for case-switching behavior that depends on the particular flavor of relational DB backend (Postgres vs MSSQL vs BigQuery vs MySQL vs DataConnectors). This allows us to write a bunch of code in a backend-agnostic way, even if runtime behavior does depend on the chosen backend. At the same time, it allows us to write backend-specific code without having to care (too much) about the existence of other backends.
In #851 this module was rewritten to use Template Haskell.
I've heard that one of the reasons for the use of TH was that this would make it easier to keep backends out of the compilation product entirely. This would allow customers, especially on OSS, to benefit from simpler software licensing.
However:
1. This conditional compilation never materialized.
2. It's not clear whether writing this particular module based on TH would be sufficient for conditional compilation. And in any case, it can be done using CPP pragmas as well.
3. The TH code is extraordinarily complex. Since its introduction, it has been documented extraordinarily well, but it's still very difficult to maintain and/or refactor, due to its non-idiomatic nature.
4. Hasura's company objectives are now Cloud-oriented, so that software licensing issues work differently, and in particular, do not depend on what's part of the compilation product.
So this PR reverts on #851 by spelling out the code generated by TH. This is a net-negative diff size. IOW we used to generate less code than the size of the code doing the generating. This makes the code readable and maintainable.
The generated code has been modified in one way, which I'll now describe.
In the scenario that support for a new backend is introduced, a constructor is added to the `BackendType` type. This would then cause `liftTag` to be partial, thus raising a compiler warning. Resolving this requires adding corresponding constructors to the `BackendTag` and `AnyBackend` types. This would then require amending **almost** all other methods.
The exceptions are `composeAnyBackend` and `unpackAnyBackend`. These methods test whether two values are compatible, i.e. belong to the same backend. Both have a default case that in one way or another ignores the input values. Using TH here ensures that all values that belong together are caught. But after spelling out the TH, the presence of the default case means that no compiler warning is thrown for a missing match of matching values. So in the default case, we now do an explicit check for equality. If there _is_ an equality, that means that there is a missing `case`. So this is reported as an `error` (which is very crude, but it should be).

It's about time.
To do this I had to check a few more boxes.
* I copied the flags from `graphql-engine.cabal` to the libraries in `server/lib`.
* I moved `Cacheable` instances of schema parser types beside the typeclass declaration.
* I removed imports of `Hasura.Prelude` from the tests, and rewrote them accordingly.
* I copied the `TestMonad` parse monad into `server/src-test/Hasura/GraphQL/Schema/RemoteTest.hs`, which was using it. I think this could be done with the real thing, but I tried replacing it with constraints and it messed with my head somewhat.

Followup to hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4713.
The `memoizeOn` method, part of `MonadSchema`, originally had the following type:
```haskell
memoizeOn
:: (HasCallStack, Ord a, Typeable a, Typeable b, Typeable k)
=> TH.Name
-> a
-> m (Parser k n b)
-> m (Parser k n b)
```
The reason for operating on `Parser`s specifically was that the `MonadSchema` effect would additionally initialize certain `Unique` values, which appear (nested in) the type of `Parser`.
hasura/graphql-engine-mono#518 changed the type of `memoizeOn`, to additionally allow memoizing `FieldParser`s. These also contained a `Unique` value, which was similarly initialized by the `MonadSchema` effect. The new type of `memoizeOn` was as follows:
```haskell
memoizeOn
:: forall p d a b
. (HasCallStack, HasDefinition (p n b) d, Ord a, Typeable p, Typeable a, Typeable b)
=> TH.Name
-> a
-> m (p n b)
-> m (p n b)
```
Note the type `p n b` of the value being memoized: by choosing `p` to be either `Parser k` or `FieldParser`, both can be memoized. Also note the new `HasDefinition (p n b) d` constraint, which provided a `Lens` for accessing the `Unique` value to be initialized.
A quick simplification is that the `HasCallStack` constraint has never been used by any code. This was realized in hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4713, by removing that constraint.
hasura/graphql-engine-mono#2980 removed the `Unique` value from our GraphQL-related types entirely, as their original purpose was never truly realized. One part of removing `Unique` consisted of dropping the `HasDefinition (p n b) d` constraint from `memoizeOn`.
What I didn't realize at the time was that this meant that the type of `memoizeOn` could be generalized and simplified much further. This PR finally implements that generalization. The new type is as follows:
```haskell
memoizeOn ::
forall a p.
(Ord a, Typeable a, Typeable p) =>
TH.Name ->
a ->
m p ->
m p
```
This change has a couple of consequences.
1. While constructing the schema, we often output `Maybe (Parser ...)`, to model that the existence of certain pieces of GraphQL schema sometimes depends on the permissions that a certain role has. The previous versions of `memoizeOn` were not able to handle this, as the only thing they could memoize was fully-defined (if not yet fully-evaluated) `(Field)Parser`s. This much more general API _would_ allow memoizing `Maybe (Parser ...)`s. However, we probably have to be continue being cautious with this: if we blindly memoize all `Maybe (Parser ...)`s, the resulting code may never be able to decide whether the value is `Just` or `Nothing` - i.e. it never commits to the existence-or-not of a GraphQL schema fragment. This would manifest as a non-well-founded knot tying, and this would get reported as an error by the implementation of `memoizeOn`.
tl;dr: This generalization _technically_ allows for memoizing `Maybe` values, but we probably still want to avoid doing so.
For this reason, the PR adds a specialized version of `memoizeOn` to `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Parser`.
2. There is no longer any need to connect the `MonadSchema` knot-tying effect with the `MonadParse` effect. In fact, after this PR, the `memoizeOn` method is completely GraphQL-agnostic, and so we implement hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4726, separating `memoizeOn` from `MonadParse` entirely - `memoizeOn` can be defined and implemented as a general Haskell typeclass method.
Since `MonadSchema` has been made into a single-type-parameter type class, it has been renamed to something more general, namely `MonadMemoize`. Its only task is to memoize arbitrary `Typeable p` objects under a combined key consisting of a `TH.Name` and a `Typeable a`.
Also for this reason, the new `MonadMemoize` has been moved to the more general `Control.Monad.Memoize`.
3. After this change, it's somewhat clearer what `memoizeOn` does: it memoizes an arbitrary value of a `Typeable` type. The only thing that needs to be understood in its implementation is how the manual blackholing works. There is no more semantic interaction with _any_ GraphQL code.

A following PR moves serialization-related code out `Hasura.RQL.Types.Metadata` into a specialized submodule. To avoid circular dependencies a number of other definitions also need to be moved into their own submodule. This PR does that extra moving first so that we can keep each PR as small, and as easy to review as possible.
There are a lot of changed lines; but it's all moving code from one module to another.

In the process of decoupling the schema parsers from the GraphQL Engine, we need to remove dependencies on `Hasura.Base.Error`.
First of all, we have avoided using `QErr` in schema parsers code, instead returning a more appropriate data type which can be converted to a `Hasura.Base.Error.QErr` later.
Secondly, we create a new `ParseErrorCode` type to represent parse failure types, which are then converted to a `Hasura.Base.Error.Code` later.

This introduces an `ErrorMessage` newtype which wraps `Text` in a manner which is designed to be easy to construct, and difficult to deconstruct.
It provides functionality similar to `Data.Text.Extended`, but designed _only_ for error messages. Error messages are constructed through `fromString`, concatenation, or the `toErrorValue` function, which is designed to be overridden for all meaningful domain types that might show up in an error message. Notably, there are not and should never be instances of `ToErrorValue` for `String`, `Text`, `Int`, etc. This is so that we correctly represent the value in a way that is specific to its type. For example, all `Name` values (from the _graphql-parser-hs_ library) are single-quoted now; no exceptions.
I have mostly had to add `instance ToErrorValue` for various backend types (and also add newtypes where necessary). Some of these are not strictly necessary for this changeset, as I had bigger aspirations when I started. These aspirations have been tempered by trying and failing twice.
As such, in this changeset, I have started by introducing this type to the `parseError` and `parseErrorWith` functions. In the future, I would like to extend this to the `QErr` record and the various `throwError` functions, but this is a much larger task and should probably be done in stages.
For now, `toErrorMessage` and `fromErrorMessage` are provided for conversion to and from `Text`, but the intent is to stop exporting these once all error messages are converted to the new type.

Earlier, if the `select` root field had a custom root field set, the same custom root field was then used for the streaming subscription root field as well. This leads to duplicate root fields being generated in the `subscription_root`.
This PR fixes that. It provides a way to customize the streaming subscription root field and not use the `select` root field's custom root field name for the streaming subscription root field.

We only use these `Show` instances in error messages (where we call
`show` explicitly anyway) and test cases (in which Hspec requires `Show
a` for any `a` in an assertion).
This removes the instance in favor of a custom `showQErr` function
(which serializes the error to JSON). It is then used in certain error
message production which previously called `show` on a `QErr`.
There are two places where we serialize a QErr and then construct a new
QErr from the resulting string. Instead, we modify the existing QErr to
add extra information.
An orphan `Show QErr` instance is retained for tests so that we can have
nice test failure messages.
This is preparation for future changes in which the error message within
`QErr` will not be exposed directly, and therefore will not have a
`Show` instance. That said, it feels like a sensible kind of cleanup
anyway.

### Description
This PR rewrites OpenAPI to be more idiomatic. Some noteworthy changes:
- we accumulate all required information during the Analyze phase, to avoid having to do a single lookup in the schema cache during the OpenAPI generation phase (we now only need the schema cache as input to run the analysis)
- we no longer build intermediary endpoint information and aggregate it, we directly build the the `PathItem` for each endpoint; additionally, that means we no longer have to assume that different methods have the same metadata
- we no longer have to first declare types, then craft references: we do everything in one step
- we now properly deal with nullability by treating "typeName" and "typeName!" as different
- we add a bunch of additional fields in the generated "schema", such as title
- we do now support enum values in both input and output positions
- checking whether the request body is required is now performed on the fly rather than by introspecting the generated schema
- the methods in the file are sorted by topic
### Controversial point
However, this PR creates some additional complexity, that we might not want to keep. The main complexity is _knot-tying_: to avoid lookups when generating the OpenAPI, it builds an actual graph of input types, which means that we need something similar to (but simpler than) `MonadSchema`, to avoid infinite recursions when analyzing the input types of a query. To do this, this PR introduces `CircularT`, a lesser `SchemaT` that aims at avoiding ever having to reinvent this particular wheel ever again.
### Remaining work
- [x] fix existing tests (they are all failing due to some of the schema changes)
- [ ] add tests to cover the new features:
- [x] tests for `CircularT`
- [ ] tests for enums in output schemas
- [x] extract / document `CircularT` if we wish to keep it
- [x] add more comments to `OpenAPI`
- [x] have a second look at `buildVariableSchema`
- [x] fix all missing diagnostics in `Analyze`
- [x] add a Changelog entry?

The code that builds the GraphQL schema, and `buildGQLContext` in particular, is partial: not every value of `(ServerConfigCtx, GraphQLQueryType, SourceCache, HashMap RemoteSchemaName (RemoteSchemaCtx, MetadataObject), ActionCache, AnnotatedCustomTypes)` results in a valid GraphQL schema. When it fails, we want to be able to return better error messages than we currently do.
The key thing that is missing is a way to trace back GraphQL type information to their origin from the Hasura metadata. Currently, we have a number of correctness checks of our GraphQL schema. But these correctness checks only have access to pure GraphQL type information, and hence can only report errors in terms of that. Possibly the worst is the "conflicting definitions" error, which, in practice, can only be debugged by Hasura engineers. This is terrible DX for customers.
This PR allows us to print better error messages, by adding a field to the `Definition` type that traces the GraphQL type to its origin in the metadata. So the idea is simple: just add `MetadataObjId`, or `Maybe` that, or some other sum type of that, to `Definition`.
However, we want to avoid having to import a `Hasura.RQL` module from `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser`. So we instead define this additional field of `Definition` through a new type parameter, which is threaded through in `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser`. We then define type synonyms in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Parser` that fill in this type parameter, so that it is not visible for the majority of the codebase.
The idea of associating metadata information to `Definition`s really comes to fruition when combined with hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4517. Their combination would allow us to use the API of fatal errors (just like the current `MonadError QErr`) to report _inconsistencies_ in the metadata. Such inconsistencies are then _automatically_ ignored. So no ad-hoc decisions need to be made on how to cut out inconsistent metadata from the GraphQL schema. This will allow us to report much better errors, as well as improve the likelihood of a successful HGE startup.

This implements an initial set of DTO types that represent serialized metadata. These new types come with codecs using autodocodec which are used to derive both JSON serialization, and OpenAPI documentation. This ensures that we can automatically generate API documentation that is guaranteed to match JSON produced by the server.
For the moment the new types are not used for anything except to generate an early version of an OpenAPI document. Because this is early work the DTO types for each metadata format version list top-level properties only with placeholders for the types of each top-level property. This early iteration demonstrates using a sum type in Haskell that maps to a tagged union in OpenAPI (using the `version` field value as a tag).
This work is experimental and incomplete! Please do not incorporate the generated OpenAPI documentation into essential workflows at this time.

Pretty much all quasi-quoted names in the server code base have ended up in `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.Constants`. I'm now finding this unpleasant for two reasons:
1. I would like to factor out the parser code into its own Cabal package, and I don't want to have to expose all these names.
2. Most of them really have nothing to do with the parsers.
In order to remedy this, I have:
1. moved the names used by parser code to `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.DirectiveName`, as they're all related to directives;
2. moved `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.Constants` to `Hasura.Name`, changing the qualified import name from `G` to `Name`;
3. moved names only used in tests to the appropriate test case;
4. removed unused items from `Hasura.Name`; and
5. grouped related names.
Most of the changes are simply changing `G` to `Name`, which I find much more meaningful.
