In order to respond to GraphQL queries that make use of the introspection fields `__type` or `__schema`, we need two things:
- an overview of the relevant GraphQL type information, stored in a `Schema` object, and
- to have included the `__type` and `__schema` fields in the `query_root` that we generate.
It used to be necessary to do the above items in that order, since the `__type` and `__schema` fields (i.e. the respective `FieldParser`s) were generated _from_ a `Schema` object.
Thanks to recent refactorings in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Introspect` (see hasura/graphql-engine-mono#2835 or hasura/graphql-engine@5760d9289c), the introspection fields _themselves_ are now `Schema`-agnostic, and simply return a function that takes a `Schema` object after parsing. For instance, the type of `schema`, corresponding to the `__schema` field, has literally changed as follows:
```diff
-schema :: MonadParse n => Schema -> FieldParser n ( J.Value)
+schema :: MonadParse n => FieldParser n (Schema -> J.Value)
```
This means that the introspection fields can be included in the GraphQL schema *before* we have generated a `Schema` object. In particular, rather than the current architecture of generating `Schema` at startup time for every role, we can instead generate `Schema` ad-hoc at query parsing time, only for those queries that make use of the introspection fields. This avoids us storing a `Schema` for every role for the lifetime of the server.
However: this introduces a functional change, as the code that generates the `Schema` object, and in particular the `accumulateTypeDefinitions` method, also does certain correctness checks, to prevent exposing a spec-incompliant GraphQL schema. If these correctness checks are being done at parsing time rather than startup time, then we catch certain errors only later on. For this reason, this PR adds an explicit run of this type accumulation at startup time. For efficiency reasons, and since this correctness check is not essential for correct operation of HGE, this is done for the admin role only.

We build the GraphQL schema by combining building blocks such as `tableSelectionSet` and `columnParser`. These building blocks individually build `{InputFields,Field,}Parser` objects. Those object specify the valid GraphQL schema.
Since the GraphQL schema is role-dependent, at some point we need to know what fragment of the GraphQL schema a specific role is allowed to access, and this is stored in `{Sel,Upd,Ins,Del}PermInfo` objects.
We have passed around these permission objects as function arguments to the schema building blocks since we first started dealing with permissions during the PDV refactor - see hasura/graphql-engine@5168b99e46 in hasura/graphql-engine#4111. This means that, for instance, `tableSelectionSet` has as its type:
```haskell
tableSelectionSet ::
forall b r m n.
MonadBuildSchema b r m n =>
SourceName ->
TableInfo b ->
SelPermInfo b ->
m (Parser 'Output n (AnnotatedFields b))
```
There are three reasons to change this.
1. We often pass a `Maybe (xPermInfo b)` instead of a proper `xPermInfo b`, and it's not clear what the intended semantics of this is. Some potential improvements on the data types involved are discussed in issue hasura/graphql-engine-mono#3125.
2. In most cases we also already pass a `TableInfo b`, and together with the `MonadRole` that is usually also in scope, this means that we could look up the required permissions regardless: so passing the permissions explicitly undermines the "single source of truth" principle. Breaking this principle also makes the code more difficult to read.
3. We are working towards role-based parsers (see hasura/graphql-engine-mono#2711), where the `{InputFields,Field,}Parser` objects are constructed in a role-invariant way, so that we have a single object that can be used for all roles. In particular, this means that the schema building blocks _need_ to be constructed in a role-invariant way. While this PR doesn't accomplish that, it does reduce the amount of role-specific arguments being passed, thus fixing hasura/graphql-engine-mono#3068.
Concretely, this PR simply drops the `xPermInfo b` argument from almost all schema building blocks. Instead these objects are looked up from the `TableInfo b` as-needed. The resulting code is considerably simpler and shorter.
One way to interpret this change is as follows. Before this PR, we figured out permissions at the top-level in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema`, passing down the obtained `xPermInfo` objects as required. After this PR, we have a bottom-up approach where the schema building blocks themselves decide whether they want to be included for a particular role.
So this moves some permission logic out of `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema`, which is very complex.

### Description
The GraphQL spec has to conflicting requirements:
1. an object must contain at least one field: the schema may not contain empty objects
2. the _query_root_ must always be present
Given _1_, the schema generation code removes from the schema all fields that would result in empty objects, such as a table for which a user does not have select permissions. But, as a result, our code also potentially removes _query_root_ if it is empty, breaking _2_.
This PR introduces a dummy "placeholder" field in the query root if it's empty, to ensure we never remove it from the schema.

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
- no user-facing changes

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.

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.

### Description
We always build a subscription root, even when there was no possible fields. This breaks some third party clients, as the spec does not allow empty types in the schema. This PR fixes this by changing the `buildSubscriptionParser` helper to return a `Maybe` value, and harmonizes / cleans places where we build the subscription root.

### 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

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.

fixes#3868
docker image - `hasura/graphql-engine:inherited-roles-preview-48b73a2de`
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)
