Codecs for event triggers, including webhook transforms. These are not hooked into the higher-up table metadata codec yet because some backend implementations implement event triggers with `error` which causes an error when codecs are evaluated. I plan to follow up with another PR to resolve that.

`toLazyByteString` is a little deficient in two ways:
- It allocates relatively large chunks (4KB + 32KB +32KB, etc…) which is wasteful for small ByteStrings
- It shrinks each chunk (Copying the data to a new chunk of exactly the right size) if it's not more than half filled. If we're running the builder right before we send it over the wire, this copy is totally extraneous (we simply end up with more work for the next GC)

What is the `Cacheable` type class about?
```haskell
class Eq a => Cacheable a where
unchanged :: Accesses -> a -> a -> Bool
default unchanged :: (Generic a, GCacheable (Rep a)) => Accesses -> a -> a -> Bool
unchanged accesses a b = gunchanged (from a) (from b) accesses
```
Its only method is an alternative to `(==)`. The added value of `unchanged` (and the additional `Accesses` argument) arises _only_ for one type, namely `Dependency`. Indeed, the `Cacheable (Dependency a)` instance is non-trivial, whereas every other `Cacheable` instance is completely boilerplate (and indeed either generated from `Generic`, or simply `unchanged _ = (==)`). The `Cacheable (Dependency a)` instance is the only one where the `Accesses` argument is not just passed onwards.
The only callsite of the `unchanged` method is in the `ArrowCache (Rule m)` method. That is to say that the `Cacheable` type class is used to decide when we can re-use parts of the schema cache between Metadata operations.
So what is the `Cacheable (Dependency a)` instance about? Normally, the output of a `Rule m a b` is re-used when the new input (of type `a`) is equal to the old one. But sometimes, that's too coarse: it might be that a certain `Rule m a b` only depends on a small part of its input of type `a`. A `Dependency` allows us to spell out what parts of `a` are being depended on, and these parts are recorded as values of types `Access a` in the state `Accesses`.
If the input `a` changes, but not in a way that touches the recorded `Accesses`, then the output `b` of that rule can be re-used without recomputing.
So now you understand _why_ we're passing `Accesses` to the `unchanged` method: `unchanged` is an equality check in disguise that just needs some additional context.
But we don't need to pass `Accesses` as a function argument. We can use the `reflection` package to pass it as type-level context. So the core of this PR is that we change the instance declaration from
```haskell
instance (Cacheable a) => Cacheable (Dependency a) where
```
to
```haskell
instance (Given Accesses, Eq a) => Eq (Dependency a) where
```
and use `(==)` instead of `unchanged`.
If you haven't seen `reflection` before: it's like a `MonadReader`, but it doesn't require a `Monad`.
In order to pass the current `Accesses` value, instead of simply passing the `Accesses` as a function argument, we need to instantiate the `Given Accesses` context. We use the `give` method from the `reflection` package for that.
```haskell
give :: forall r. Accesses -> (Given Accesses => r) -> r
unchanged :: (Given Accesses => Eq a) => Accesses -> a -> a -> Bool
unchanged accesses a b = give accesses (a == b)
```
With these three components in place, we can delete the `Cacheable` type class entirely.
The remainder of this PR is just to remove the `Cacheable` type class and its instances.
