Lucas Bordeau 9e00a67b25 Fix kanban loading bug (#12042)
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/956

This PR fixes a bug that appeared when switching between two kanban
views multiple times.

Steps to reproduce : 
- Go to kanban view A
- Go to kanban view B
- Go back to kanban view A

The problem was that we allowed a hook to take a nullable parameter that
can be nullable between page switch, and threw when it was undefined.

In order to be more cautious in the future, let's be sure that we don't
throw for undefined props of a hook, when it is expected that those
props can be in an undefined state for several React render loops, while
fetching new data.

Here I identified the parent effect : `<RecordIndexBoardDataLoader />`
that loads all states for a board when we switch between views, for each
column, by calling `<RecordIndexBoardColumnLoaderEffect />` in a
`.map()`.

Each `RecordIndexBoardColumnLoaderEffect` was calling
`useLoadRecordIndexBoardColumn` with a potentially undefined
`boardFieldMetadataId`.

So to fix this, I cut the render flow higher than the throw in
`useLoadRecordIndexBoardColumn`, and by doing that I was able to ensure
that `recordIndexKanbanFieldMetadataItem` in
`RecordIndexBoardDataLoader` was already defined when using it inside
`useLoadRecordIndexBoardColumn`.

`recordIndexKanbanFieldMetadataItem` was unnecessarily fetched two
times, one time in `RecordIndexBoardDataLoader` and another time in its
child `useLoadRecordIndexBoardColumn` hook.

By implementing this flow-cut higher up, I could then remove the `|
null` in TypeScript in children components, and expect a defined value
in all the children of `RecordIndexBoardDataLoader`, thus removing the
need to ask ourselves if we should throw or not in
`useLoadRecordIndexBoardColumn`.
