Auke Booij cdac24c79f server: delete the Cacheable type class in favor of Eq
What is the `Cacheable` type class about?
```haskell
class Eq a => Cacheable a where
  unchanged :: Accesses -> a -> a -> Bool
  default unchanged :: (Generic a, GCacheable (Rep a)) => Accesses -> a -> a -> Bool
  unchanged accesses a b = gunchanged (from a) (from b) accesses
```
Its only method is an alternative to `(==)`. The added value of `unchanged` (and the additional `Accesses` argument) arises _only_ for one type, namely `Dependency`. Indeed, the `Cacheable (Dependency a)` instance is non-trivial, whereas every other `Cacheable` instance is completely boilerplate (and indeed either generated from `Generic`, or simply `unchanged _ = (==)`). The `Cacheable (Dependency a)` instance is the only one where the `Accesses` argument is not just passed onwards.

The only callsite of the `unchanged` method is in the `ArrowCache (Rule m)` method. That is to say that the `Cacheable` type class is used to decide when we can re-use parts of the schema cache between Metadata operations.

So what is the `Cacheable (Dependency a)` instance about? Normally, the output of a `Rule m a b` is re-used when the new input (of type `a`) is equal to the old one. But sometimes, that's too coarse: it might be that a certain `Rule m a b` only depends on a small part of its input of type `a`. A `Dependency` allows us to spell out what parts of `a` are being depended on, and these parts are recorded as values of types `Access a` in the state `Accesses`.

If the input `a` changes, but not in a way that touches the recorded `Accesses`, then the output `b` of that rule can be re-used without recomputing.

So now you understand _why_ we're passing `Accesses` to the `unchanged` method: `unchanged` is an equality check in disguise that just needs some additional context.

But we don't need to pass `Accesses` as a function argument. We can use the `reflection` package to pass it as type-level context. So the core of this PR is that we change the instance declaration from
```haskell
instance (Cacheable a) => Cacheable (Dependency a) where
```
to
```haskell
 instance (Given Accesses, Eq a) => Eq (Dependency a) where
```
and use `(==)` instead of `unchanged`.

If you haven't seen `reflection` before: it's like a `MonadReader`, but it doesn't require a `Monad`.

In order to pass the current `Accesses` value, instead of simply passing the `Accesses` as a function argument, we need to instantiate the `Given Accesses` context. We use the `give` method from the `reflection` package for that.
```haskell
give :: forall r. Accesses -> (Given Accesses => r) -> r

unchanged :: (Given Accesses => Eq a) => Accesses -> a -> a -> Bool
unchanged accesses a b = give accesses (a == b)
```
With these three components in place, we can delete the `Cacheable` type class entirely.

The remainder of this PR is just to remove the `Cacheable` type class and its instances.
