This introduces an `ErrorMessage` newtype which wraps `Text` in a manner which is designed to be easy to construct, and difficult to deconstruct.
It provides functionality similar to `Data.Text.Extended`, but designed _only_ for error messages. Error messages are constructed through `fromString`, concatenation, or the `toErrorValue` function, which is designed to be overridden for all meaningful domain types that might show up in an error message. Notably, there are not and should never be instances of `ToErrorValue` for `String`, `Text`, `Int`, etc. This is so that we correctly represent the value in a way that is specific to its type. For example, all `Name` values (from the _graphql-parser-hs_ library) are single-quoted now; no exceptions.
I have mostly had to add `instance ToErrorValue` for various backend types (and also add newtypes where necessary). Some of these are not strictly necessary for this changeset, as I had bigger aspirations when I started. These aspirations have been tempered by trying and failing twice.
As such, in this changeset, I have started by introducing this type to the `parseError` and `parseErrorWith` functions. In the future, I would like to extend this to the `QErr` record and the various `throwError` functions, but this is a much larger task and should probably be done in stages.
For now, `toErrorMessage` and `fromErrorMessage` are provided for conversion to and from `Text`, but the intent is to stop exporting these once all error messages are converted to the new type.

We only use these `Show` instances in error messages (where we call
`show` explicitly anyway) and test cases (in which Hspec requires `Show
a` for any `a` in an assertion).
This removes the instance in favor of a custom `showQErr` function
(which serializes the error to JSON). It is then used in certain error
message production which previously called `show` on a `QErr`.
There are two places where we serialize a QErr and then construct a new
QErr from the resulting string. Instead, we modify the existing QErr to
add extra information.
An orphan `Show QErr` instance is retained for tests so that we can have
nice test failure messages.
This is preparation for future changes in which the error message within
`QErr` will not be exposed directly, and therefore will not have a
`Show` instance. That said, it feels like a sensible kind of cleanup
anyway.
