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.

Moves code from `Hasura.RQL.Types.Metadata` that is specific to serialization into a new module, `Hasura.RQL.Types.Metadata.Serialization`.
I'm breaking up #5184 into smaller PRs. This is the third and final PR in that effort. This PR is stacked on #5210 and #5211.

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.
