feat: add query plan hash field for expressions

+- `request.operation.hash` - Hash of the normalized operation. Computed before variable remapping, so queries with different variable names produce different hashes. Identical queries with different skip/include variable values also produce different hashes because normalization inlines those directives.
+- `request.operation.queryPlanHash` - The Hash used as the query plan cache key. Computed after variable remapping (e.g. `$myId` and `$eid` both become `$0`) and includes skip/include variable values. Two requests share the same `queryPlanHash` when they resolve to the same query plan.
+- `request.operation.sha256Hash` - SHA-256 hash of the original operation query string sent by the client. Identical for all requests that send the same raw query body, regardless of variable values.
