## Context
Field metadata service was reusing validators from
validate-**OBJECT**-metadata-input which were throwing ObjectMetadata
exceptions not handled in fieldMetadataGraphqlApiExceptionHandler and
were going to Sentry.
To solve the issue since this validator is associated with both fields
and objects I'm moving the util to the root utils folder of metadata
module and throwing a common metadata user input exception
# Introduction
This PR contains several SNAPSHOT files explaining big +
While refactoring the Object Model settings page in
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/10653, encountered a critical
issue when submitting either one or both names with `""` empty string
hard corrupting a workspace.
This motivate this PR reviewing server side validation
I feel like we could share zod schema between front and back
## Refactored server validation
What to expect from Names:
- Plural and singular have to be different ( case insensitive and
trimmed check )
- Contains only a-z A-Z and 0-9
- Follows camelCase
- Is not empty => Is not too short ( 1 )
- Is not too long ( 63 )
- Is case insensitive( fooBar and fOoBar now rejected )
What to expect from Labels:
- Plural and singular have to be different ( case insensitive and
trimmed check )
- Is not empty => Is not too short ( 1 )
- Is not too long ( 63 )
- Is case insensitive ( fooBar and fOoBar now rejected )

## Creation integrations tests
Created new integrations tests, following
[EachTesting](https://jestjs.io/docs/api#testeachtablename-fn-timeout)
pattern and uses snapshot to assert errors message. These tests cover
several failing use cases and started to implement ones for the happy
path but object metadata item deletion is currently broken unless I'm
mistaken @Weiko is on it
## Notes
- [ ] As we've added new validation rules towards names and labels we
should scan db in order to standardize existing values using either a
migration command or manual check
- [ ] Will review in an other PR the update path, adding integrations
tests and so on
At field creation we are checking the availability of the name by
comparing it to the other fields' names' on the object; but for
composite fields the fields' names' as indicated in the repository do
not exactly match the column names' on the tables (e.g "createdBy" field
is actually represented by columns createdByName, createdBySource etc.).
In this PR we prevent the conflict with the standard composite fields'
names.
There is still room for errors with the custom composite fields: for
example a custom composite field "address" of type address on a custom
object "listing" will introduce the columns addressAddressStreet1,
addressAddressStreet2 etc. while we won't prevent the user from later
creating a custom field named "addressAddressStreet1".
For now I decided not to tackle this as this seem extremely edgy + would
impact performance on creation of all fields while never actually useful
(I think).
