* Unified error handling

* Single request path and error handling

* Fixed ts issue

* another ts issu

* Added back old requestId cancellation

* Slow progress trying to grasp the full picture of cancellation

* Updates

* refactoring

* Remove a bunch of stuff from backendSrv

* Removed another function

* Do not show error alerts for data queries

* Muu

* Updated comment

* fixed ts issue

* unify request options type

## BackendSrv interface
Used to communicate via http(s) to a remote backend such as the Grafana backend, a datasource etc. The BackendSrv is using the [Fetch API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) under the hood to handle all the communication.
The request function can be used to perform a remote call by specifying a [BackendSrvRequest](./runtime/backendsrvrequest.md)<!-- -->. To make the BackendSrv a bit easier to use we have added a couple of shorthand functions that will use default values executing the request.
<b>Signature</b>
```typescript
export interface BackendSrv
```
<b>Import</b>
```typescript
import { BackendSrv } from '@grafana/runtime';
```
## Remarks
By default Grafana will display an error message alert if the remote call fails. If you want to prevent this from happending you need to catch the error thrown by the BackendSrv and set the `showErrorAlert = true` on the request options object.
> In versions prior to v7.2 you disable the notification alert by setting isHandled on the caught error

Can be skipped by adding <code>option.silent</code> when initializing the request. |
