This PR expands the OpenAPI specification generated for metadata to include separate definitions for `SourceMetadata` for each native database type, and for DataConnector.
For the most part the changes add `HasCodec` implementations, and don't modify existing code otherwise.
The generated OpenAPI spec can be used to generate TypeScript definitions that distinguish different source metadata types based on the value of the `kind` properly. There is a problem: because the specified `kind` value for a data connector source is any string, when TypeScript gets a source with a `kind` value of, say, `"postgres"`, it cannot unambiguously determine whether the source is postgres, or a data connector. For example,
```ts
function consumeSourceMetadata(source: SourceMetadata) {
if (source.kind === "postgres" || source.kind === "pg") {
// At this point TypeScript infers that `source` is either an instance
// of `PostgresSourceMetadata`, or `DataconnectorSourceMetadata`. It
// can't narrow further.
source
}
if (source.kind === "something else") {
// TypeScript infers that this `source` must be an instance of
// `DataconnectorSourceMetadata` because `source.kind` does not match
// any of the other options.
source
}
}
```
The simplest way I can think of to fix this would be to add a boolean property to the `SourceMetadata` type along the lines of `isNative` or `isDataConnector`. This could be a field that only exists in serialized data, like the metadata version field. The combination of one of the native database names for `kind`, and a true value for `isNative` would be enough for TypeScript to unambiguously distinguish the source kinds.
But note that in the current state TypeScript is able to reference the short `"pg"` name correctly!
~~Tests are not passing yet due to some discrepancies in DTO serialization vs existing Metadata serialization. I'm working on that.~~
The placeholders that I used for table and function metadata are not compatible with the ordered JSON serialization in use. I think the best solution is to write compatible codecs for those types in another PR. For now I have disabled some DTO tests for this PR.
Here are the generated [OpenAPI spec](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/files/9397333/openapi.tar.gz) based on these changes, and the generated [TypeScript client code](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/files/9397339/client-typescript.tar.gz) based on that spec.

This implements an initial set of DTO types that represent serialized metadata. These new types come with codecs using autodocodec which are used to derive both JSON serialization, and OpenAPI documentation. This ensures that we can automatically generate API documentation that is guaranteed to match JSON produced by the server.
For the moment the new types are not used for anything except to generate an early version of an OpenAPI document. Because this is early work the DTO types for each metadata format version list top-level properties only with placeholders for the types of each top-level property. This early iteration demonstrates using a sum type in Haskell that maps to a tagged union in OpenAPI (using the `version` field value as a tag).
This work is experimental and incomplete! Please do not incorporate the generated OpenAPI documentation into essential workflows at this time.
