Dynamic grql api wrapper on application sync (#15791)
# Introduction

Important note: for the moment testing this locally will require some
hack due to latest twenty-sdk not being published.
You will need to build twenty-cli and `cd packages/twenty-cli && yarn
link`
To finally sync the app in your app folder as `cd app-folder && twenty
app sync`

close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1863

In this PR is introduced the generate sdk programmatic call to
[genql](https://genql.dev/) exposed in a `client` barrel of `twenty-sdk`
located in this package as there's high chances that will add a codegen
layer above it at some point ?

The cli calls this method after a sync application and writes a client
in a generated folder. It will make a graql introspection query on the
whole workspace. We should later improve that and only filter by current
applicationId and its dependencies ( when twenty-standard application is
introduced )

Fully typesafe ( input, output, filters etc ) auto-completed client

## Hello-world app serverless refactor
