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
This PR is the first of several PRs meant to introduce Generalized Joins. In this first PR, we add non-breaking changes to the Metadata types for DB-to-DB remote joins. Note that we are currently rejecting the new remote join format in order to keep folks from breaking their metadata (in case of a downgrade). These issues will be tackled (and JSON changes reverted) in subsequent PRs.
This PR also changes the way we construct the schema cache, and breaks the way we process sources in two steps: we first resolve each source and construct a cache of their tables' raw info, then in a second step we build the source output. This is so that we have access to the target source's tables when building db-to-db relationships.
### Notes
- this PR contains a few minor cleanups of the schema
- it also fixes a bug in how we do renames in remote schema relationships
- it introduces cross-source schema dependencies

### Description
This PR removes all `fmapX` and `traverseX` functions from RQL.IR, favouring instead `Functor` and `Traversable` instances throughout the code. This was a relatively straightforward change, except for two small pain points: `AnnSelectG` and `AnnInsert`. Both were parametric over two types `a` and `v`, making it impossible to make them traversable functors... But it turns out that in every single use case, `a ~ f v`. By changing those types to take such an `f :: Type -> Type` as an argument instead of `a :: Type` makes it possible to make them functors.
The only small difference is for `AnnIns`, I had to introduce one `Identity` transformation for one of the `f` parameters. This is relatively straightforward.
### Notes
This PR fixes the most verbose BigQuery hint (`let` instead of `<- pure`).

### Description
This PR adds the required IR for DB to DB joins, based on @paf31 and @0x777 's `feature/db-to-db` branch.
To do so, it also refactors the IR to introduce a new type parameter, `r`, which is used to recursively constructs the `v` parameter of remote QueryDBs. When collecting remote joins, we replace `r` with `Const Void`, indicating at the type level that there cannot be any leftover remote join.
Furthermore, this PR refactors IR.Select for readability, moves some code from IR.Root to IR.Select to avoid having to deal with circular dependencies, and makes it compile by adding `error` in all new cases in the execution pipeline.
The diff doesn't make it clear, but most of Select.hs is actually unchanged. Declarations have just been reordered by topic, in the following order:
- type declarations
- instance declarations
- type aliases
- constructor functions
- traverse functions

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.

Fixes https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/issues/712
Main point of interest: the `Hasura.SQL.Backend` module.
This PR creates an `Exists` type indexed by indexed type and packed constraint while hiding all of its complexity by not exporting the constructor.
Existential constructors/types which are no longer (directly) existential:
- [X] BackendSourceInfo :: BackendSourceInfo
- [x] BackendSourceMetadata :: BackendSourceMetadata
- [x] MOSourceObjId :: MetadatObjId
- [x] SOSourceObj :: SchemaObjId
- [x] RFDB :: RootField
- [x] LQP :: LiveQueryPlan
- [x] ExecutionStep :: ExecStepDB
This PR also removes ALL usages of `Typeable.cast` from our codebase. We still need to derive `Typeable` in a few places in order to be able to derive `Data` in one place. I have not dug deeper to see why this is needed.

fixes#3868
docker image - `hasura/graphql-engine:inherited-roles-preview-48b73a2de`
Note:
To be able to use the inherited roles feature, the graphql-engine should be started with the env variable `HASURA_GRAPHQL_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES` set to `inherited_roles`.
Introduction
------------
This PR implements the idea of multiple roles as presented in this [paper](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FGALanguageICDE07.pdf). The multiple roles feature in this PR can be used via inherited roles. An inherited role is a role which can be created by combining multiple singular roles. For example, if there are two roles `author` and `editor` configured in the graphql-engine, then we can create a inherited role with the name of `combined_author_editor` role which will combine the select permissions of the `author` and `editor` roles and then make GraphQL queries using the `combined_author_editor`.
How are select permissions of different roles are combined?
------------------------------------------------------------
A select permission includes 5 things:
1. Columns accessible to the role
2. Row selection filter
3. Limit
4. Allow aggregation
5. Scalar computed fields accessible to the role
Suppose there are two roles, `role1` gives access to the `address` column with row filter `P1` and `role2` gives access to both the `address` and the `phone` column with row filter `P2` and we create a new role `combined_roles` which combines `role1` and `role2`.
Let's say the following GraphQL query is queried with the `combined_roles` role.
```graphql
query {
employees {
address
phone
}
}
```
This will translate to the following SQL query:
```sql
select
(case when (P1 or P2) then address else null end) as address,
(case when P2 then phone else null end) as phone
from employee
where (P1 or P2)
```
The other parameters of the select permission will be combined in the following manner:
1. Limit - Minimum of the limits will be the limit of the inherited role
2. Allow aggregations - If any of the role allows aggregation, then the inherited role will allow aggregation
3. Scalar computed fields - same as table column fields, as in the above example
APIs for inherited roles:
----------------------
1. `add_inherited_role`
`add_inherited_role` is the [metadata API](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/api-reference/index.html#schema-metadata-api) to create a new inherited role. It accepts two arguments
`role_name`: the name of the inherited role to be added (String)
`role_set`: list of roles that need to be combined (Array of Strings)
Example:
```json
{
"type": "add_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user",
"role_set":[
"user",
"user1"
]
}
}
```
After adding the inherited role, the inherited role can be used like single roles like earlier
Note:
An inherited role can only be created with non-inherited/singular roles.
2. `drop_inherited_role`
The `drop_inherited_role` API accepts the name of the inherited role and drops it from the metadata. It accepts a single argument:
`role_name`: name of the inherited role to be dropped
Example:
```json
{
"type": "drop_inherited_role",
"args": {
"role_name":"combined_user"
}
}
```
Metadata
---------
The derived roles metadata will be included under the `experimental_features` key while exporting the metadata.
```json
{
"experimental_features": {
"derived_roles": [
{
"role_name": "manager_is_employee_too",
"role_set": [
"employee",
"manager"
]
}
]
}
}
```
Scope
------
Only postgres queries and subscriptions are supported in this PR.
Important points:
-----------------
1. All columns exposed to an inherited role will be marked as `nullable`, this is done so that cell value nullification can be done.
TODOs
-------
- [ ] Tests
- [ ] Test a GraphQL query running with a inherited role without enabling inherited roles in experimental features
- [] Tests for aggregate queries, limit, computed fields, functions, subscriptions (?)
- [ ] Introspection test with a inherited role (nullability changes in a inherited role)
- [ ] Docs
- [ ] Changelog

* Stop shutdown handler retaining the whole serveCtx
This might look like quite a strange way to write the function but it's
the only way I could get GHC to not capture `serveCtx` in the shutdown
handler.
Fixes the metadata issue in #344
* Force argumentNames
The arguments list is often empty so we end up with a lot of duplicate
thunks if this value is not forced.
* Increase sharing in nullableType and nonNullableType
The previous definitions would lead to increased allocation as it would
destory any previously created sharing. The new definition only allocate
a fresh constructor if the value is changed.
* Add memoization for field parsers
It was observed in #344 that many parsers were not being memoised which
led to an increase in memory usage. This patch generalisation memoisation so
that it works for FieldParsers as well as normal Parsers.
There can still be substantial improvement made by also memoising
InputFieldParsers but that is left for future work.
