Lucas Bordeau 2691222d5f Improve board experience 🖼️ (#16063)
This PR improves the general UX and DX of boards, by modifying the query
effect to only use paged group by queries.

In this PR we implement two more things in the backend for group by
queries :
- Fixed ORDER BY in the PARTITION BY sub-query (this wasn't working
because it was applied in the main query, so it sorted randomly picked
records, which was a correct sort on an incorrect dataset returned by
the sub-query)
- Added offset paging in PARTITION BY

Miscellaneous, various bug fixes and improvements along the way : 
- Throttled loading of cards to avoid React freeze
- Handling of drag & drop
- Handling of create / delete / update
- Reworked skeleton (the library slows down a lot with hundreds of
skeleton for a spinning effect that is hardly noticed)
- Fixed refetch of aggregate queries (I included the new group by
aggregates query we use in the existing refetch mechanism)
- Re-trigger queries on filters and sorts changes
- Unselect all record ids when deleting / restoring / detroying
- Fetch only groups that still have records to lighten the group by
query.

# What remains to be done 

This is still a naïve fetch more implementation that will work for a few
fetch more rounds, but if you scroll and load say 200 cards per column
on a board, React will re-render all 200 cards of each column each time.

We would probably need to virtualize the board with paged queries as we
did for the table, this could be done after this PR but seems less
urgent.

What's nice is that this new query pattern is well designed for
virtualization also, drawing from our experience with table
virtualization, and adapted to a multi-column request pattern, like a
2:2 matrix of records, for our boards.

So the remaining work would be to design a UI solution for virtualizing
this matrix of records, which could be quite different from our table
virtualization mechanism.

Does the world need another CRM?

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in Open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
