## Description
This change adds support for nested object fields in HGE IR and Schema Cache, the Data Connectors backend and API, and the MongoDB agent.
### Data Connector API changes
- The `/schema` endpoint response now includes an optional set of GraphQL type definitions. Table column types can refer to these definitions by name.
- Queries can now include a new field type `object` which contains a column name and a nested query. This allows querying into a nested object within a field.
### MongoDB agent changes
- Add support for querying into nested documents using the new `object` field type.
### HGE changes
- The `Backend` type class has a new type family `XNestedObjects b` which controls whether or not a backend supports querying into nested objects. This is currently enabled only for the `DataConnector` backend.
- For backends that support nested objects, the `FieldInfo` type gets a new constructor `FINestedObject`, and the `AnnFieldG` type gets a new constructor `AFNestedObject`.
- If the DC `/schema` endpoint returns any custom GraphQL type definitions they are stored in the `TableInfo` for each table in the source.
- During schema cache building, the function `addNonColumnFields` will check whether any column types match custom GraphQL object types stored in the `TableInfo`. If so, they are converted into `FINestedObject` instead of `FIColumn` in the `FieldInfoMap`.
- When building the `FieldParser`s from `FieldInfo` (function `fieldSelection`) any `FINestedObject` fields are converted into nested object parsers returning `AFNestedObject`.
- The `DataConnector` query planner converts `AFNestedObject` fields into `object` field types in the query sent to the agent.
## Limitations
### HGE not yet implemented:
- Support for nested arrays
- Support for nested objects/arrays in mutations
- Support for nested objects/arrays in order-by
- Support for filters (`where`) in nested objects/arrays
- Support for adding custom GraphQL types via track table metadata API
- Support for interface and union types
- Tests for nested objects
### Mongo agent not yet implemented:
- Generate nested object types from validation schema
- Support for aggregates
- Support for order-by
- Configure agent port
- Build agent in CI
- Agent tests for nested objects and MongoDB agent

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.

## Description
->
This PR allows DC agents to define custom aggregate functions for their scalar types.
### Related Issues
->
GDC-189
### Solution and Design
>
We added a new property `aggregate_functions` to the scalar types capabilities. This allows the agent author to specify a set of aggregate functions supported by each scalar type, along with the function's result type.
During GraphQL schema generation, the custom aggregate functions are available via a new method `getCustomAggregateOperators` on the `Backend` type class.
Custom functions are merged with the builtin aggregate functions when building GraphQL schemas for table aggregate fields and for `order_by` operators on array relations.
### Steps to test and verify
>
• Codec tests for aggregate function capabilities have been added to the unit tests.
• Some custom aggregate operators have been added to the reference agent and are used in a new test in `api-tests`.
