Update generator functions to make it easier to interop with other targets like ReScript

[dkirchhof]

Hello,

I would like to build a custom generator for ReScript. More precisely a queries generator. So I started to play with the $.analyzeQuery function. Unfortunately it returns the args and result type as a stringified TypeScript type. Would be nice if the function could return for example the fields property of the inCodec and outCodec.

Another "pain point" is that I have to duplicate a lot of code. For example how to read the config, how to get alle query files etc. So a great addition again if the generateQueryFiles function could be more reusable.

Well, after realizing theses two issues I wanted to try out the "native" generator with a custom target. So I added some the new extension, changed the "impl" function, etc. Unfortunately there will be the walkCodec function again and all the codec stuff.

TLDR; I just want to change (without a lot of effort) how the EdgeDB types will be mapped to the "targeted" output types.

Cheers, Daniel

I'm an erstwhile ReScript developer myself, so I'm open to making it easier for that ecosystem to integrate with EdgeDB. I'll throw this on my "medium-term" list of pet projects. I'm happy to help review PRs if you end up digging into this sooner than I get to it.
