* use positional arguments in SQL functions
* only allow omitting set of last arguments in functions
* disallow omitting of a non default argument in functions
* fix bug in audience check while verifying JWT
- previously the check was converting the audience type into a string
and then comparing with the conf value. all audience types (as it is a
string or URI) will convert to plain strings
- use the Audience type from the jose library for comparing
* add docs for audience
* add issuer check as well
* docs minor syntax fix
* skip audience check if not given in conf
* minor docs update
* qualify import jose library
* remove phase one/two distinction and hdbquery typeclass
* move extensions to default-extensions
* switch to LazyTx which only acquires a connection if needed
* move defns from TH module into Ops module
* remove tojson orphan instance for http exception
* remove orphan instance for dmlp1
* getTopLevelNodes will not throw any exceptions
When using self referential relationships in boolean expressions, the exists clause incorrectly uses the table names to qualify columns which will be the same for parent table and the child table. This is now fixed by generating unique aliases as we traverse down the relationships.
JWT config now takes an optional jwk_url parameter (which points to published JWK Set). This is useful for providers who rotate their JWK Set.
Optional jwk_url parameter is taken. The published JWK set under that URL should be in standard JWK format (tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517#section-4.8).
If the response contains an Expires header, the JWK set is automatically refreshed.
The API:
1. HGE has `--jwt-secret` flag or `HASURA_GRAPHQL_JWT_SECRET` env var. The value of which is a JSON.
2. The structure of this JSON is: `{"type": "<standard-JWT-algorithms>", "key": "<the-key>"}`
`type` : Standard JWT algos : `HS256`, `RS256`, `RS512` etc. (see jwt.io).
`key`:
i. Incase of symmetric key, the key as it is.
ii. Incase of asymmetric keys, only the public key, in a PEM encoded string or as a X509 certificate.
3. The claims in the JWT token must contain the following:
i. `x-hasura-default-role` field: default role of that user
ii. `x-hasura-allowed-roles` : A list of allowed roles for the user. The default role is overriden by `x-hasura-role` header.
4. The claims in the JWT token, can have other `x-hasura-*` fields where their values can only be strings.
5. The JWT tokens are sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` headers.

To test:
1. Generate a shared secret (for HMAC-SHA256) or RSA key pair.
2. Goto https://jwt.io/ , add the keys
3. Edit the claims to have `x-hasura-role` (mandatory) and other `x-hasura-*` fields. Add permissions related to the claims to test permissions.
4. Start HGE with `--jwt-secret` flag or `HASURA_GRAPHQL_JWT_SECRET` env var, which takes a JSON string: `{"type": "HS256", "key": "mylongsharedsecret"}` or `{"type":"RS256", "key": "<PEM-encoded-public-key>"}`
5. Copy the JWT token from jwt.io and use it in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
