graphene/graphql-core v3 upgrade

[dwsutherland]

partially addresses cylc/cylc-uiserver#333

This is the first part described here:
cylc/cylc-uiserver#333 (comment)

The second, and arguably trickier, part will be the sibling at the UIS.

There were some breaking changes to contend with (mainly around more support for Enums):
https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/wiki/v3-release-notes

But the most involved part was re-implementing the null stripping, but some time reading the graphql-core I found some tools to help, simplifying the code.

Check List

• I have read CONTRIBUTING.md and added my name as a Code Contributor.
• Contains logically grouped changes (else tidy your branch by rebase).
• Does not contain off-topic changes (use other PRs for other changes).
• Applied any dependency changes to both setup.cfg (and conda-environment.yml if present).
• Tests altered and added to cover.
• Changelog entry included if this is a change that can affect users

Another change I've found is with default_value with mutation arguments (or arguments in general)..
In v3 this value isn't used unless the argument is absent.. So setting it to None/null in the request doc is honored, whereas previously it would have used the argument default_value defined in the schema,
i.e.
This will set mode: Clean as expected:

mutation {
  stop(
      workflows: ["foo/run1"]
    ) {
    result
  }
}"

whereas this will not:

mutation {
  stop(
      workflows: ["foo/run1"],
      mode: None
    ) {
    result
  }
}"

you'll get an error, the None/null is now carried.

And we have a lot of scripts that set args to None in the options.. Slowly working through them.. They'll need to be a valid default in the options.

LGTM 🚀

8.4.0 is hopefully imminent (remove + skip mode), so we're probably aiming for 8.5.0 (cylc-uiserver 1.7.0).

Will need to have a play with the cylc-ui forms to see what the impact of the enum changes are. Hopefully, we can keep cylc-uiserver compatible with older cylc-flow schedulers (perhaps using some back-compat shims in cylc-uiserver if needed).

Good spot. Will need to make sure the UI does the right thing.

Just made some more changes; covered more code, fixed a few issues..

Well, the sync is just protobuf.. And I haven't noticed anything other than those defaults from the GraphQL client end.
It may come down to whether the mutations passed through to the UIS need to change (so far so good)..
Definitely can't be in the same python environment... (haha)

Once we merge this, we're committed to releasing the uis/ui components in the same minor release.

Hopefully, we can target 8.5.0, created a milestone to assign this to. Note to reviewers, don't merge into master until 8.4.0 has been released.

BLOCKED till after 8.4.0 released

How's the UIS side coming on?

Getting onto this, preparing to "go live" with Cylc8 at NIWA.. But preparations are almost complete
