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.

## Description
Thanks to #1664, the Metadata API types no longer require a `ToJSON` instance. This PR follows up with a cleanup of the types of the arguments to the metadata API:
- whenever possible, it moves those argument types to where they're used (RQL.DDL.*)
- it removes all unrequired instances (mostly `ToJSON`)
This PR does not attempt to do it for _all_ such argument types. For some of the metadata operations, the type used to describe the argument to the API and used to represent the value in the metadata are one and the same (like for `CreateEndpoint`). Sometimes, the two types are intertwined in complex ways (`RemoteRelationship` and `RemoteRelationshipDef`). In the spirit of only doing uncontroversial cleaning work, this PR only moves types that are not used outside of RQL.DDL.
Furthermore, this is a small step towards separating the different types all jumbled together in RQL.Types.
## Notes
This PR also improves several `FromJSON` instances to make use of `withObject`, and to use a human readable string instead of a type name in error messages whenever possible. For instance:
- before: `expected Object for Object, but encountered X`
after: `expected Object for add computed field, but encountered X`
- before: `Expecting an object for update query`
after: `expected Object for update query, but encountered X`
This PR also renames `CreateFunctionPermission` to `FunctionPermissionArgument`, to remove the quite surprising `type DropFunctionPermission = CreateFunctionPermission`.
This PR also deletes some dead code, mostly in RQL.DML.
This PR also moves a PG-specific source resolving function from DDL.Schema.Source to the only place where it is used: App.hs.

### Description
The spock handler requires the request type to have a `ToJSON` instance AND a `FromJSON` instance. That's because we parse it from the received bytestring into its proper type.... and call `toJSON` on it to log it. This PR simplifies this, by keeping the intermediate `Value` obtained during parsing, and using it for logging. This has two consequences:
1. it removes the `ToJSON` constraint, which will remove some code down the line (esp. in Metadata)
2. it means we log the actual JSON object query we received, not the result of parsing it, meaning the logged object will contain fields that would have been ignored when parsing the actual value; this is both an upside (more accurate log) and a downside (could be more verbose / more confusing)
### Further work
Should this PR also remove all obsolete ToJSON instances while at it?
How do we test this?

### Description
RunSQL commands are analyzed to detect whether they require a schema cache rebuild; in the case of Citus we were always returning `False`. This PR fixes this, and also removes the catch-all case, to make it explicit / obvious whenever we change this.

Remote relationships are now supported on SQL Server and BigQuery. The major change though is the re-architecture of remote join execution logic. Prior to this PR, each backend is responsible for processing the remote relationships that are part of their AST.
This is not ideal as there is nothing specific about a remote join's execution that ties it to a backend. The only backend specific part is whether or not the specification of the remote relationship is valid (i.e, we'll need to validate whether the scalars are compatible).
The approach now changes to this:
1. Before delegating the AST to the backend, we traverse the AST, collect all the remote joins while modifying the AST to add necessary join fields where needed.
1. Once the remote joins are collected from the AST, the database call is made to fetch the response. The necessary data for the remote join(s) is collected from the database's response and one or more remote schema calls are constructed as necessary.
1. The remote schema calls are then executed and the data from the database and from the remote schemas is joined to produce the final response.
### Known issues
1. Ideally the traversal of the IR to collect remote joins should return an AST which does not include remote join fields. This operation can be type safe but isn't taken up as part of the PR.
1. There is a lot of code duplication between `Transport/HTTP.hs` and `Transport/Websocket.hs` which needs to be fixed ASAP. This too hasn't been taken up by this PR.
1. The type which represents the execution plan is only modified to handle our current remote joins and as such it will have to be changed to accommodate general remote joins.
1. Use of lenses would have reduced the boilerplate code to collect remote joins from the base AST.
1. The current remote join logic assumes that the join columns of a remote relationship appear with their names in the database response. This however is incorrect as they could be aliased. This can be taken up by anyone, I've left a comment in the code.
### Notes to the reviewers
I think it is best reviewed commit by commit.
1. The first one is very straight forward.
1. The second one refactors the remote join execution logic but other than moving things around, it doesn't change the user facing functionality. This moves Postgres specific parts to `Backends/Postgres` module from `Execute`. Some IR related code to `Hasura.RQL.IR` module. Simplifies various type class function signatures as a backend doesn't have to handle remote joins anymore
1. The third one fixes partial case matches that for some weird reason weren't shown as warnings before this refactor
1. The fourth one generalizes the validation logic of remote relationships and implements `scalarTypeGraphQLName` function on SQL Server and BigQuery which is used by the validation logic. This enables remote relationships on BigQuery and SQL Server.

This reverts the remote schema type customisation and namespacing feature temporarily as we test for certain conditions.
