### Description
As part of the cache building process, we create / update / migrate the catalog that each DB uses as a place to store event trigger information. The function that decides how this should be done was doing an explicit `case ... of` on the backend tag, instead of delegating to one of the backend classes. The downsides of this is that:
- it adds a "friction point" where the backend matters in the core of the engine, which is otherwise written to be almost entirely backend-agnostic
- it creates imports from deep in the engine to the `Backends`, which we try to restrict to a very small set of clearly identified files (the `Instances` files)
- it is currently implemented using a "catch all" default case, which might not always be correct for new backends
This PR makes the catalog updating process a part of `BackendMetadata`, and cleans the corresponding schema cache code.

## Description
This PR removes `RQL.Types`, which was now only re-exporting a bunch of unrelated modules.

## Description
We go through the module `Hasura.Backends.MSSQL.FromIr` and split it into separate self-contained units, which we document.
Note that this PR has a slightly opinionated follow-up PR #3909 .
### Related Issues
Fix#3666
### Solution and Design
The module `FromIr` has given rise to:
* `FromIr.Expression`
* `FromIr.Query`
* `FromIr.Delete`
* `FromIr.Insert`
* `FromIr.Update`
* `FromIr.SelectIntoTempTable`
And `Execute.MutationResponse` has become `FromIr.MutationResponse` (after some slight adaptation of types).

I discovered and removed instances of Boolean Blindness about whether json numbers should be stringified or not.
Although quite far-reaching, this is a completely mechanical change and should have no observable impact outside the server code.

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.

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 simplifies the types that represent a remote relationship in IR so that they can be reused in other parts (in remote schema types) which could have remote relationships.
The comments on the PR explain the main 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.
