chore: add name column in dashboards table for v2 dashboards

* feat: add store methods for minimal trace fetch

* feat: break down waterfall module to handle large spans

Handling large traces in two steps to avoid high
memory allocation

* refactor: keep the waterfall changes in new api version

This is to avoid the contract change in existing v3

* chore: avoid unnecessary diffs

* refactor: move conversion logic to types

* chore: update openapi specs

* refactor: use sqlbuider for queries

* chore: fix comment

* chore: avoid passing request type to module

* refactor: avoid passing whole summary object around

* chore: remove trace_id from querying since its already known

* chore: remove unused reference column from query

* chore: update openapi specs
