graphqlbackend: remove unused types

Administrator requested to merge k/unused-graphql into main

Created by: keegancsmith

These are types in our graphql API which are mentioned in any other type/mutation/etc. This commit removes

  • DefaultSettings
  • DeploymentConfiguration
  • Diff
  • DiffSearchResult
  • ExtensionRegistryPublishExtensionResult
  • HiddenChangesetSpec
  • HiddenExternalChangeset
  • VirtualFile

It doesn't yet remove the relevant resolvers for those types. That will be done in a later commit once we confirm these can be removed.

Context: I came across DiffSearchResult and noticed it was unused. I then cooked up this little script to find all the unused types:

  (
      for t in $(awk '/^(type|enum|interface|union)/ { print $2 }' cmd/frontend/graphqlbackend/schema.graphql); do
          echo -n "$t"
          egrep "\b$t\b" cmd/frontend/graphqlbackend/schema.graphql | wc -l
      done
  ) | grep ' 1$' | sort | awk '{print $1}'
