## Context
LabelIdentifier and ImageIdentifier are metadata info attached to
objectMetadata that are used to display a record in a more readable way.
Those columns point to existing fields that are part of the object.
For example, for a relation picker of a person, we will show a record
using the "name" labelIdentifier and the "avatarUrl" imageIdentifier.

Currently, the FE has a specific logic for company and people objects
and we have a way to update this value via the API for custom objects,
but the code is not flexible enough to change other standard objects.
This PR updates the WorkspaceEntity API so we can now provide the
labelIdentifier and imageIdentifier in the WorkspaceEntity decorator.
Example:
```typescript
@WorkspaceEntity({
standardId: STANDARD_OBJECT_IDS.activity,
namePlural: 'activities',
labelSingular: 'Activity',
labelPlural: 'Activities',
description: 'An activity',
icon: 'IconCheckbox',
labelIdentifierStandardId: ACTIVITY_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.title,
})
@WorkspaceIsSystem()
export class ActivityWorkspaceEntity extends BaseWorkspaceEntity {
@WorkspaceField({
standardId: ACTIVITY_STANDARD_FIELD_IDS.title,
type: FieldMetadataType.TEXT,
label: 'Title',
description: 'Activity title',
icon: 'IconNotes',
})
title: string;
...
```
Fixes#5276.
Updates were not triggering a cache version incrementation because they
do not trigger migrations while that is where the caching version logic
was.
We have decided to move the cache incrementation logic to the services.
New strategy:
- add settings field on FieldMetadata. Contains a boolean isIdField and
for numbers, a precision
- if idField, the graphql scalar returned will be a GraphQL id. This
will allow the app to work even for ids that are not uuid
- remove globals dateScalar and numberScalar modes. These were not used
- set limit as Integer
- check manually in query runner mutations that we send a valid id
Todo left:
- remove WorkspaceBuildSchemaOptions since this is not used anymore.
Will do in another PR

We have recently discovered that we were using ID type in place of UUID
type in many place in the code.
We have merged #4895 but this introduced bugs as we forgot to replace it
everywhere
Several fixes for remote objects:
- labels are now displayed in title case. Added an util for this.
- Ids are often integers but the foreign keys on the relations were
uuid. Sending the id type to the object metadata service so it can
creates the foreign key accordingly
- Graphql comments are override when several remote objects are
imported. Building a function that fetch the existing comment and update
it
