Antoine Leblanc 0a69db81c9 Move RoleName into SchemaContext.
### Description

I am not 100% sure about this PR; while I think the code is better this way, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

In short, this PR moves the `RoleName` field into the `SchemaContext`, instead of being a nebulous `Has RoleName` constraint on the reader monad. The major upside of this is that it makes it an explicit named field, rather than something that must be given as part of a tuple of arguments when calling `runReader`.

However, the downside is that it breaks the helper permissions functions of `Schema.Table`, which relied on `Has RoleName r`. This PR makes the choice of passing the role name explicitly to all of those functions, which in turn means first explicitly fetching the role name in a lot of places. It makes it more explicit when a schema building block relies on the role name, but is a bit verbose...

### Alternatives

Some alternatives worth considering:
- attempting something like `Has context r, Has RoleName context`, which would allow them to be independent from the context but still fetch the role name from the reader, but might require type annotations to not be ambiguous
- keeping the permission functions the same, with `Has RoleName r`, and introducing a bunch of newtypes instead of using tuples to explicitly implement all the required `Has` instances
- changing the permission functions to `Has SchemaContext r`, since they are functions used only to build the schema, and therefore may be allowed to be tied to the context.

What do y'all think?
