This has two advantages:

  1. we have much more control over json-rpc processing, including better logging which jsonrpsee just doesn't provide, not even in the latest version (it's impossible to get at the remote_addr)
  2. we reduce the number of crates we depend on

Since our json-rpc server is very simple, there isn't a big downside to not relying on an external library for this

With this change, we log the following for each json-rpc request:

JSON-RPC call, x_forwarded_proto: unset, x_real_ip: unset, x_forwarded_for: unset, 
   remote_addr: 127.0.0.1:34382,
   params: Some(Object {"ipfs_hash": String("QmYourDeploymentHash"), "node_id": String("your_node_id")}),
   method: subgraph_reassign, component: JsonRpcServer

server/json-rpc: Replace jsonrpsee with axum
00a9db0 
Migrate the JSON-RPC admin server from jsonrpsee to axum/tower, which
are already used elsewhere in the codebase (server/graphman). This
removes the jsonrpsee dependency while maintaining full protocol
compatibility.

Changes:
- Add jsonrpc.rs: JSON-RPC 2.0 types (request, response, error, ID)
- Add error.rs: Error code mapping from SubgraphRegistrarError
- Add handlers.rs: Request dispatch and method handlers
- Add server.rs: Axum-based HTTP server with graceful shutdown
- Update lib.rs: Module structure with public exports
- Update Cargo.toml: Replace jsonrpsee with axum, serde_json, thiserror

server/json-rpc: Simplify handlers with to_response helper
6f92004 
Consolidate the repetitive success/error handling pattern into a single
`to_response` helper function. Inline the error module into handlers.rs
and remove redundant per-handler logging (the dispatch function already
logs method, params, and connection info).
