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
Thanks to #1664, the Metadata API types no longer require a `ToJSON` instance. This PR follows up with a cleanup of the types of the arguments to the metadata API:
- whenever possible, it moves those argument types to where they're used (RQL.DDL.*)
- it removes all unrequired instances (mostly `ToJSON`)
This PR does not attempt to do it for _all_ such argument types. For some of the metadata operations, the type used to describe the argument to the API and used to represent the value in the metadata are one and the same (like for `CreateEndpoint`). Sometimes, the two types are intertwined in complex ways (`RemoteRelationship` and `RemoteRelationshipDef`). In the spirit of only doing uncontroversial cleaning work, this PR only moves types that are not used outside of RQL.DDL.
Furthermore, this is a small step towards separating the different types all jumbled together in RQL.Types.
## Notes
This PR also improves several `FromJSON` instances to make use of `withObject`, and to use a human readable string instead of a type name in error messages whenever possible. For instance:
- before: `expected Object for Object, but encountered X`
after: `expected Object for add computed field, but encountered X`
- before: `Expecting an object for update query`
after: `expected Object for update query, but encountered X`
This PR also renames `CreateFunctionPermission` to `FunctionPermissionArgument`, to remove the quite surprising `type DropFunctionPermission = CreateFunctionPermission`.
This PR also deletes some dead code, mostly in RQL.DML.
This PR also moves a PG-specific source resolving function from DDL.Schema.Source to the only place where it is used: App.hs.

## Description
This PR fixes an oversight in the implementation of the resolvers of different backends. To implement resolution from environment variables, both MSSQL and BigQuery were directly fetching the process' environment variables, instead of using the careful curated set we thread from main. It was working just fine on OSS, but is failing on Cloud.
This PR fixes this by adding an additional argument to `resolveSourceConfig`, to ensure that backends always use the correct set of variables.

### 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

### Context
One of the ways we use the Backend type families is to use `Void` for all types for which a backend has no representation; this allows us to make some branches of our metadata and IR unrepresentable, making some functions total, where they would have to handle those unsupported cases otherwise.
However, one of the biggest features, functions, cannot be cut that way, due to one of the constraints on `FunctionName b`: the metadata generator requires it to have an `Arbitrary` instance, and `Arbitrary` does not have a recovery mechanism which would allow for a `Void` instance...
### Description
This PR solves this problem and removes the `Arbitrary` constraints in `Backend`. To do so, it introduces a new typeclass: `PartialArbitrary`, which is very similar to `Arbitrary`, except that it returns a `Maybe (Gen a)`, allowing for `Void` to have a well-formed instance. An `Arbitrary` instance for `Metadata` can easily be retrieved with `arbitrary = fromJust . partialArbitrary`.
Furthermore, `PartialArbitrary` has a generic implementation, inspired by the one in `generic-arbitrary`, which automatically prunes branches that return `Nothing`, allowing to automatically construct most types. Types that don't have a type parameter and therefore can't contain `Void` can easily get their `PartialArbitrary` instance from `Arbitrary` with `partialArbitrary = Just arbitrary`. This is what a default overlappable instance provides.
In conjunction with other cleanups in #1666, **this allows for Void function names**.
### Notes
While this solves the stated problem, there are other possible solutions we could explore, such as:
- switching from QuickCheck to a library that supports that kind of pruning natively
- removing the test altogether, and dropping all notion of Arbitrary from the code
There are also several things we could do with the Generator module:
- move it out of RQL.DDL.Metadata, to some place that makes more sense
- move ALL Arbitrary instances in the code to it, since nothing else uses Arbitrary
- or, to the contrary, move all those Arbitrary instances alongside their types, to avoid an orphan instance

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.

This reverts the remote schema type customisation and namespacing feature temporarily as we test for certain conditions.

event catalog:
- `hdb_catalog` is no longer automatically created
- catalog is initialised when the first event trigger is created
- catalog initialisation is done during the schema cache build, using `ArrowCache` so it is only run in response to a change to the set of event triggers
event queue:
- `processEventQueue` thread is prevented from starting when `HASURA_GRAPHQL_EVENTS_FETCH_INTERVAL=0`
- `processEventQueue` thread only processes sources for which at least one event trigger exists in some table in the source
