This PR is on top of #7789.
### Description
This PR entirely rewrites the API of the Tracing library, to make `interpTraceT` a thing of the past. Before this change, we ran traces by sticking a `TraceT` on top of whatever we were doing. This had several major drawbacks:
- we were carrying a bunch of `TraceT` across the codebase, and the entire codebase had to know about it
- we needed to carry a second class constraint around (`HasReporterM`) to be able to run all of those traces
- we kept having to do stack rewriting with `interpTraceT`, which went from inconvenient to horrible
- we had to declare several behavioral instances on `TraceT m`
This PR rewrite all of `Tracing` using a more conventional model: there is ONE `TraceT` at the bottom of the stack, and there is an associated class constraint `MonadTrace`: any part of the code that happens to satisfy `MonadTrace` is able to create new traces. We NEVER have to do stack rewriting, `interpTraceT` is gone, and `TraceT` and `Reporter` become implementation details that 99% of the code is blissfully unaware of: code that needs to do tracing only needs to declare that the monad in which it operates implements `MonadTrace`.
In doing so, this PR revealed **several bugs in the codebase**: places where we were expecting to trace something, but due to the default instance of `HasReporterM IO` we would actually not do anything. This PR also splits the code of `Tracing` in more byte-sized modules, with the goal of potentially moving to `server/lib` down the line.
### Remaining work
This PR is a draft; what's left to do is:
- [x] make Pro compile; i haven't updated `HasuraPro/Main` yet
- [x] document Tracing by writing a note that explains how to use the library, and the meaning of "reporter", "trace" and "span", as well as the pitfalls
- [x] discuss some of the trade-offs in the implementation, which is why i'm opening this PR already despite it not fully building yet
- [x] it depends on #7789 being merged first

## Description
### I want to speak to the `Manager`
Oh boy. This PR is both fairly straightforward and overreaching, so let's break it down.
For most network access, we need a [`HTTP.Manager`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-client-0.1.0.0/docs/Network-HTTP-Client-Manager.html). It is created only once, at the top level, when starting the engine, and is then threaded through the application to wherever we need to make a network call. As of main, the way we do this is not standardized: most of the GraphQL execution code passes it "manually" as a function argument throughout the code. We also have a custom monad constraint, `HasHttpManagerM`, that describes a monad's ability to provide a manager. And, finally, several parts of the code store the manager in some kind of argument structure, such as `RunT`'s `RunCtx`.
This PR's first goal is to harmonize all of this: we always create the manager at the root, and we already have it when we do our very first `runReaderT`. Wouldn't it make sense for the rest of the code to not manually pass it anywhere, to not store it anywhere, but to always rely on the current monad providing it? This is, in short, what this PR does: it implements a constraint on the base monads, so that they provide the manager, and removes most explicit passing from the code.
### First come, first served
One way this PR goes a tiny bit further than "just" doing the aforementioned harmonization is that it starts the process of implementing the "Services oriented architecture" roughly outlined in this [draft document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FAigqrST0juU1WcT4HIxJxe1iEBwTuBZodTaeUvsKqQ/edit?usp=sharing). Instead of using the existing `HasHTTPManagerM`, this PR revamps it into the `ProvidesNetwork` service.
The idea is, again, that we should make all "external" dependencies of the engine, all things that the core of the engine doesn't care about, a "service". This allows us to define clear APIs for features, to choose different implementations based on which version of the engine we're running, harmonizes our many scattered monadic constraints... Which is why this service is called "Network": we can refine it, moving forward, to be the constraint that defines how all network communication is to operate, instead of relying on disparate classes constraint or hardcoded decisions. A comment in the code clarifies this intent.
### Side-effects? In my Haskell?
This PR also unavoidably touches some other aspects of the codebase. One such example: it introduces `Hasura.App.AppContext`, named after `HasuraPro.Context.AppContext`: a name for the reader structure at the base level. It also transforms `Handler` from a type alias to a newtype, as `Handler` is where we actually enforce HTTP limits; but without `Handler` being a distinct type, any code path could simply do a `runExceptT $ runReader` and forget to enforce them.
(As a rule of thumb, i am starting to consider any straggling `runReaderT` or `runExceptT` as a code smell: we should not stack / unstack monads haphazardly, and every layer should be an opaque `newtype` with a corresponding run function.)
## Further work
In several places, i have left TODOs when i have encountered things that suggest that we should do further unrelated cleanups. I'll write down the follow-up steps, either in the aforementioned document or on slack. But, in short, at a glance, in approximate order, we could:
- delete `ExecutionCtx` as it is only a subset of `ServerCtx`, and remove one more `runReaderT` call
- delete `ServerConfigCtx` as it is only a subset of `ServerCtx`, and remove it from `RunCtx`
- remove `ServerCtx` from `HandlerCtx`, and make it part of `AppContext`, or even make it the `AppContext` altogether (since, at least for the OSS version, `AppContext` is there again only a subset)
- remove `CacheBuildParams` and `CacheBuild` altogether, as they're just a distinct stack that is a `ReaderT` on top of `IO` that contains, you guessed it, the same thing as `ServerCtx`
- move `RunT` out of `RQL.Types` and rename it, since after the previous cleanups **it only contains `UserInfo`**; it could be bundled with the authentication service, made a small implementation detail in `Hasura.Server.Auth`
- rename `PGMetadaStorageT` to something a bit more accurate, such as `App`, and enforce its IO base
This would significantly simply our complex stack. From there, or in parallel, we can start moving existing dependencies as Services. For the purpose of supporting read replicas entitlement, we could move `MonadResolveSource` to a `SourceResolver` service, as attempted in #7653, and transform `UserAuthenticationM` into a `Authentication` service.

## Description
This PR removes `MetadataStorageT`, and cleans up all top-level error handling. In short: this PR changes `MonadMetadataStorage` to explicitly return a bunch of `Either QErr a`, instead of relying on the stack providing a `MonadError QErr`. Since we implement that class on the base monad *below any ExceptT*, this removes a lot of very complicated instances that make assumptions about the shape of the stack.
On the back of this, we can remove several layers of ExceptT from the core of the code, including the one in `RunT`, which allows us to remove several instances of `liftEitherM . runExceptT`.

We currently have a fairly intricate way of running our PostgreSQL and MSSQL integration tests (not the API tests). By splitting them out, we can simplify this a lot. Most prominently, we can rely on Cabal to be our argument parser instead of writing our own.
We can also simplify how they're run in CI. They are currently (weirdly) run alongside the Python integration tests. This breaks them out into their own jobs for better visibility, and to avoid conflating the two.
The changes are as follows:
- The "unit" tests that rely on a running PostgreSQL database are extracted out to a new test directory so they can be run separately.
- Most of the `Main` module comes with them.
- We now refer to these as "integration" tests instead.
- Likewise for the "unit" tests that rely on a running MS SQL Server database. These are a little simpler and we can use `hspec-discover`, with a `SpecHook` to extract the connection string from an environment variable.
- Henceforth, these are the MS SQL Server integration tests.
- New CI jobs have been added for each of these.
- There wasn't actually a job for the MS SQL Server integration tests. It's pretty amazing they still run well.
- The "haskell-tests" CI job, which used to run the PostgreSQL integration tests, has been removed.
- The makefiles and contributing guide have been updated to run these.
