The code that builds the GraphQL schema, and `buildGQLContext` in particular, is partial: not every value of `(ServerConfigCtx, GraphQLQueryType, SourceCache, HashMap RemoteSchemaName (RemoteSchemaCtx, MetadataObject), ActionCache, AnnotatedCustomTypes)` results in a valid GraphQL schema. When it fails, we want to be able to return better error messages than we currently do.
The key thing that is missing is a way to trace back GraphQL type information to their origin from the Hasura metadata. Currently, we have a number of correctness checks of our GraphQL schema. But these correctness checks only have access to pure GraphQL type information, and hence can only report errors in terms of that. Possibly the worst is the "conflicting definitions" error, which, in practice, can only be debugged by Hasura engineers. This is terrible DX for customers.
This PR allows us to print better error messages, by adding a field to the `Definition` type that traces the GraphQL type to its origin in the metadata. So the idea is simple: just add `MetadataObjId`, or `Maybe` that, or some other sum type of that, to `Definition`.
However, we want to avoid having to import a `Hasura.RQL` module from `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser`. So we instead define this additional field of `Definition` through a new type parameter, which is threaded through in `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser`. We then define type synonyms in `Hasura.GraphQL.Schema.Parser` that fill in this type parameter, so that it is not visible for the majority of the codebase.
The idea of associating metadata information to `Definition`s really comes to fruition when combined with hasura/graphql-engine-mono#4517. Their combination would allow us to use the API of fatal errors (just like the current `MonadError QErr`) to report _inconsistencies_ in the metadata. Such inconsistencies are then _automatically_ ignored. So no ad-hoc decisions need to be made on how to cut out inconsistent metadata from the GraphQL schema. This will allow us to report much better errors, as well as improve the likelihood of a successful HGE startup.

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.

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

This commit applies ormolu to the whole Haskell code base by running `make format`.
For in-flight branches, simply merging changes from `main` will result in merge conflicts.
To avoid this, update your branch using the following instructions. Replace `<format-commit>`
by the hash of *this* commit.
$ git checkout my-feature-branch
$ git merge <format-commit>^ # and resolve conflicts normally
$ make format
$ git commit -a -m "reformat with ormolu"
$ git merge -s ours post-ormolu

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.
