### Description
This PR is the result of a discussion in #3363. Namely, we would like to remove all uses of `unsafeMkName`, or at the very least document every single one of them, to avoid similar issues. To do so, this PR does the following:
- it adds a hlint suggestion not to use that function:
- suggestions don't mark the PR as failed, but will be shown at review time
- it is possible to disable that hint with `{- HLINT ignore myFunction "unsafe" -}`
- wherever possible, it removes uses of `unsafeMkName` in favour of `mkName`
- it adds a comment with a tracking issue for the two remaining uses:
- #3478
- #3479
### Remaining work
- discuss whether this hint should make the linter step fail, since the linter step isn't required to merge anyway, and there is a way to disable the hint wherever we think the use of that function is acceptable
- check that none of those uses were load-bearing and result in errors now

This commit introduces an "experimental" backend adapter to the GraphQL Engine.
It defines a high-level interface which will eventually be used as the basis for implementing separate data source query generation & marshaling services that communicate with the GraphQL Engine Server via some protocol.

This PR pretty much does the same thing to remote relationship types in schemacache as what #2979 did to remote relationship types in the IR. On main remote relationships are represented by types of form `T from to`. This PR changes it to `T from` which makes it a lot more reusable.

this pr modifies the representation chosen for introspection parsers, "pushing down" the `Schema` input so it is not required to build the parser anymore. instead, the value produced when the parser is evaluated becomes a function that consumes a schema:
```diff
-schema :: MonadParse n => Schema -> FieldParser n ( J.Value)
+schema :: MonadParse n => FieldParser n (Schema -> J.Value)
```
this addresses points (1) and (2) of #2833 and is intended to make #2799 easier: we will need to enforce permissions when generating introspection objects, hiding fields the user is not allowed to see, so if we can pass the schema _later_, we can build this parser once, evaluate it once to (morally) obtain a function `Schema -> Value`, and simply run that single `Schema -> Value` function on different role-based schemas.
(we really need some terminology to be fixed here: "parser" is already not the best name, and then we have parser vs value/function "returned" by parser vs...)
however, we have immediate benefits: we no longer _need_ a `Schema` object to build the introspection parsers! this means we can remove the bogus "degenerate case" schema that is currently constructed in `emptyIntrospection` (and indeed we remove that binding altogether).
(fun fact: the diff for this pull request has a negative line count despite adding a lot of comments. @abooij says i have bragging rights in perpetuity now, à la @nicuveo)
changes:
- internal changes to the operation of the server, invisible outside of a small number of `GraphQL.Schema.*` modules

GraphQL types can refer to each other in a circular way. The PDV framework used to use values of type `Unique` to recognize two fragments of GraphQL schema as being the same instance. Internally, this is based on `Data.Unique` from the `base` package, which simply increases a counter on every creation of a `Unique` object.
**NB**: The `Unique` values are _not_ used for knot tying the schema combinators themselves (i.e. `Parser`s). The knot tying for `Parser`s is purely based on keys provided to `memoizeOn`. The `Unique` values are _only_ used to recognize two pieces of GraphQL _schema_ as being identical. Originally, the idea was that this would help us with a perfectly correct identification of GraphQL types. But this fully correct equality checking of GraphQL types was never implemented, and does not seem to be necessary to prevent bugs.
Specifically, these `Unique` values are stored as part of `data Definition a`, which specifies a part of our internal abstract syntax tree for the GraphQL types that we expose. The `Unique` values get initialized by the `SchemaT` effect.
In #2894 and #2895, we are experimenting with how (parts of) the GraphQL types can be hidden behind certain permission predicates. This would allow a single GraphQL schema in memory to serve all roles, implementing #2711. The permission predicates get evaluated at query parsing time when we know what role is doing a certain request, thus outputting the correct GraphQL types for that role.
If the approach of #2895 is followed, then the `Definition` objects, and thus the `Unique` values, would be hidden behind the permission predicates. Since the permission predicates are evaluated only after the schema is already supposed to be built, this means that the permission predicates would prevent us from initializing the `Unique` values, rendering them useless.
The simplest remedy to this is to remove our usage of `Unique` altogether from the GraphQL schema and schema combinators. It doesn't serve a functional purpose, doesn't prevent bugs, and requires extra bookkeeping.

### Description
This PR changes the internal representation of a parsed remote schema. We were still using a list of type definitions, meaning every time we were doing a type lookup we had to iterate through a linked list! 🙀 It was very noticeable on large schemas, that need to do a lot of lookups. This PR consequently changes the internal representation to a HashMap. Building the OneGraph schema on my machine now takes **23 seconds**, compared to **367 seconds** before this patch.
Some important points:
- ~~this PR removes a check for type duplication in remote schemas; it's unclear to me whether that's something we need to add back or not~~ (no longer true)
- this PR makes it obvious that we do not distinguish between "this remote schema is missing type X" and "this remote schema expects type X to be an object, but it's a scalar"; this PR doesn't change anything about it, but adds a comment where we could surface that error (see [2991](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/issues/2991))

Source typename customization (hasura/graphql-engine@aac64f2c81) introduced a mechanism to change certain names in the GraphQL schema that is exposed. In particular it allows last-minute modification of:
1. the names of some types, and
2. the names of some root fields.
The above two items are assigned distinct customization algorithms, and at times both algorithms are in scope. So a need to distinguish them is needed.
In the original design, this was addressed by introducing a newtype wrapper `Typename` around GraphQL `Name`s, dedicated to the names of types. However, in the majority of the codebase, type names are also represented by `Name`. For this reason, it was unavoidable to allow for easy conversion. This was supported by a `HasName Typename` instance, as well as by publishing the constructors of `Typename`.
This means that the type safety that newtypes can add is lost. In particular, it is now very easy to confuse type name customization with root field name customization.
This refactors the above design by instead introducing newtypes around the customization operations:
```haskell
newtype MkTypename = MkTypename {runMkTypename :: Name -> Name}
deriving (Semigroup, Monoid) via (Endo Name)
newtype MkRootFieldName = MkRootFieldName {runMkRootFieldName :: Name -> Name}
deriving (Semigroup, Monoid) via (Endo Name)
```
The `Monoid` instance allows easy composition of customization operations, piggybacking off of the type of `Endo`maps.
This design allows safe co-existence of the two customization algorithms, while avoiding the syntactic overhead of packing and unpacking newtypes.

We'll see if this improves compile times at all, but I think it's worth
doing as at least the most minimal form of module documentation.
This was accomplished by first compiling everything with
-ddump-minimal-imports, and then a bunch of scripting (with help from
ormolu)
**EDIT** it doesn't seem to improve CI compile times but the noise floor is high as it looks like we're not caching library dependencies anymore

While adding [insert mutation schema parser for MSSQL backend](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/pull/2141) I also included [identity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_column) notion to table columns across all backends. In MSSQL we cannot insert any value (even `DEFAULT` expression) into Identity columns. This behavior of identity columns is not same in Postgres as we can insert values. This PR drops the notion of identity in the column info. The context of identity columns for MSSQL is carried in `ExtraTableMetadata` type.

### Description
During the PDV refactor that led to 2.0, we broke an undocumented and untested semantic of inserts: accepting _explicit_ null values in nested object inserts.
In short: in the schema, we often distinguish between _explicit_ null values `{id: 3, author: null}` and _implicit_ null values that correspond to the field being omitted `{id: 3}`. In this particular case, we forgot to accept explicit null values. Since the field is optional (meaning we accept implicit null values), it was nullable in the schema, like it was in pre-PDV times. But in practice we would reject explicit nulls.
This PR fixes this, and adds a test. Furthermore, it does a bit of a cleanup of the Mutation part of the schema, and more specifically of all insertion code.

GitOrigin-RevId: 8595008dece35f7fded9c52e134de8b97b64f53f
When adding object relationships, we set the nullability of the generated GraphQL field based on whether the database backend enforces that the referenced data always exists. For manual relationships (corresponding to `manual_configuration`), the database backend is unaware of any relationship between data, and hence such fields are always set to be nullable.
For relationships generated from foreign key constraints (corresponding to `foreign_key_constraint_on`), we distinguish between two cases:
1. The "forward" object relationship from a referencing table (i.e. which has the foreign key constraint) to a referenced table. This should be set to be non-nullable when all referencing columns are non-nullable. But in fact, it used to set it to be non-nullable if *any* referencing column is non-nullable, which is only correct in Postgres when `MATCH FULL` is set (a flag we don't consider). This fixes that by changing a boolean conjunction to a disjunction.
2. The "reverse" object relationship from a referenced table to a referencing table which has the foreign key constraint. This should always be set to be nullable. But in fact, it used to always be set to non-nullable, as was reported in hasura/graphql-engine#7201. This fixes that.
Moreover, we have moved the computation of the nullability from `Hasura.RQL.DDL.Relationship` to `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Select`: this nullability used to be passed through the `riIsNullable` field of `RelInfo`, but for array relationships this information is not actually used, and moreover the remaining fields of `RelInfo` are already enough to deduce the nullability.
This also adds regression tests for both (1) and (2) above.

This removes the module re-exports of [Data.Align](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/semialign-1.2/docs/Data-Align.html) and [Data.These](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/these-1.1.1.1/docs/Data-These.html) from `Hasura.Prelude`. The reasoning being that they're not used widely and reasonably obscure, and that being explicit about the imports makes for an easier to understand codebase.
(I spent longer than I'd have liked earlier today figuring out where `align` in multitenant came from.
The right one not showing up on the first hoogle page doesn't help. Yes, better tool use could have
avoided that, but still...)

GitOrigin-RevId: e113f5d17b62bfa0a25028c20260ae1782ae224b
Query plan caching was introduced by - I believe - hasura/graphql-engine#1934 in order to reduce the query response latency. During the development of PDV in hasura/graphql-engine#4111, it was found out that the new architecture (for which query plan caching wasn't implemented) performed comparably to the pre-PDV architecture with caching. Hence, it was decided to leave query plan caching until some day in the future when it was deemed necessary.
Well, we're in the future now, and there still isn't a convincing argument for query plan caching. So the time has come to remove some references to query plan caching from the codebase. For the most part, any code being removed would probably not be very well suited to the post-PDV architecture of query execution, so arguably not much is lost.
Apart from simplifying the code, this PR will contribute towards making the GraphQL schema generation more modular, testable, and easier to profile. I'd like to eventually work towards a situation in which it's easy to generate a GraphQL schema parser *in isolation*, without being connected to a database, and then parse a GraphQL query *in isolation*, without even listening any HTTP port. It is important that both of these operations can be examined in detail, and in isolation, since they are two major performance bottlenecks, as well as phases where many important upcoming features hook into.
Implementation
The following have been removed:
- The entirety of `server/src-lib/Hasura/GraphQL/Execute/Plan.hs`
- The core phases of query parsing and execution no longer have any references to query plan caching. Note that this is not to be confused with query *response* caching, which is not affected by this PR. This includes removal of the types:
- - `Opaque`, which is replaced by a tuple. Note that the old implementation was broken and did not adequately hide the constructors.
- - `QueryReusability` (and the `markNotReusable` method). Notably, the implementation of the `ParseT` monad now consists of two, rather than three, monad transformers.
- Cache-related tests (in `server/src-test/Hasura/CacheBoundedSpec.hs`) have been removed .
- References to query plan caching in the documentation.
- The `planCacheOptions` in the `TenantConfig` type class was removed. However, during parsing, unrecognized fields in the YAML config get ignored, so this does not cause a breaking change. (Confirmed manually, as well as in consultation with @sordina.)
- The metrics no longer send cache hit/miss messages.
There are a few places in which one can still find references to query plan caching:
- We still accept the `--query-plan-cache-size` command-line option for backwards compatibility. The `HASURA_QUERY_PLAN_CACHE_SIZE` environment variable is not read.

### Description
This PR is the first of several PRs meant to introduce Generalized Joins. In this first PR, we add non-breaking changes to the Metadata types for DB-to-DB remote joins. Note that we are currently rejecting the new remote join format in order to keep folks from breaking their metadata (in case of a downgrade). These issues will be tackled (and JSON changes reverted) in subsequent PRs.
This PR also changes the way we construct the schema cache, and breaks the way we process sources in two steps: we first resolve each source and construct a cache of their tables' raw info, then in a second step we build the source output. This is so that we have access to the target source's tables when building db-to-db relationships.
### Notes
- this PR contains a few minor cleanups of the schema
- it also fixes a bug in how we do renames in remote schema relationships
- it introduces cross-source schema dependencies

### Description
This PR removes all `fmapX` and `traverseX` functions from RQL.IR, favouring instead `Functor` and `Traversable` instances throughout the code. This was a relatively straightforward change, except for two small pain points: `AnnSelectG` and `AnnInsert`. Both were parametric over two types `a` and `v`, making it impossible to make them traversable functors... But it turns out that in every single use case, `a ~ f v`. By changing those types to take such an `f :: Type -> Type` as an argument instead of `a :: Type` makes it possible to make them functors.
The only small difference is for `AnnIns`, I had to introduce one `Identity` transformation for one of the `f` parameters. This is relatively straightforward.
### Notes
This PR fixes the most verbose BigQuery hint (`let` instead of `<- pure`).

### Description
This PR adds the required IR for DB to DB joins, based on @paf31 and @0x777 's `feature/db-to-db` branch.
To do so, it also refactors the IR to introduce a new type parameter, `r`, which is used to recursively constructs the `v` parameter of remote QueryDBs. When collecting remote joins, we replace `r` with `Const Void`, indicating at the type level that there cannot be any leftover remote join.
Furthermore, this PR refactors IR.Select for readability, moves some code from IR.Root to IR.Select to avoid having to deal with circular dependencies, and makes it compile by adding `error` in all new cases in the execution pipeline.
The diff doesn't make it clear, but most of Select.hs is actually unchanged. Declarations have just been reordered by topic, in the following order:
- type declarations
- instance declarations
- type aliases
- constructor functions
- traverse functions

GitOrigin-RevId: bbdcb4119cec8bb3fc32f1294f91b8dea0728721
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.

Main point of interest: the `Hasura.SQL.Backend` module.
This PR creates an `Exists` type indexed by indexed type and packed constraint while hiding all of its complexity by not exporting the constructor.
Existential constructors/types which are no longer (directly) existential:
- [X] BackendSourceInfo :: BackendSourceInfo
- [x] BackendSourceMetadata :: BackendSourceMetadata
- [x] MOSourceObjId :: MetadatObjId
- [x] SOSourceObj :: SchemaObjId
- [x] RFDB :: RootField
- [x] LQP :: LiveQueryPlan
- [x] ExecutionStep :: ExecStepDB
This PR also removes ALL usages of `Typeable.cast` from our codebase. We still need to derive `Typeable` in a few places in order to be able to derive `Data` in one place. I have not dug deeper to see why this is needed.

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

* Stop shutdown handler retaining the whole serveCtx
This might look like quite a strange way to write the function but it's
the only way I could get GHC to not capture `serveCtx` in the shutdown
handler.
Fixes the metadata issue in #344
* Force argumentNames
The arguments list is often empty so we end up with a lot of duplicate
thunks if this value is not forced.
* Increase sharing in nullableType and nonNullableType
The previous definitions would lead to increased allocation as it would
destory any previously created sharing. The new definition only allocate
a fresh constructor if the value is changed.
* Add memoization for field parsers
It was observed in #344 that many parsers were not being memoised which
led to an increase in memory usage. This patch generalisation memoisation so
that it works for FieldParsers as well as normal Parsers.
There can still be substantial improvement made by also memoising
InputFieldParsers but that is left for future work.
