Description

There are some challenges:

1. AshPostgres and AshGraphql both expect to be able to exit/raise. We need to make sure that they *raise a specific known error* in this case, and don't use `exit` when we are calling their `codegen` functions.
2. In order to run `mix ash.codegen`, we need to provide a name. The current tooling in `Plug.Exception` supports actions, but not actions that take inputs. Perhaps we need to try and improve `Plug.Exception` to support inputs. I find it unlikely that it would be something that they are open to but worth checking.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the AshPostgres and AshGraphql codegen functions and the Plug.Exception action support mentioned in the issue. Determine how `mix ash.codegen` can detect that code generation is needed, how a name can be supplied, and how codegen failures can raise a known error instead of exiting. Done means the detection flow handles both providers and supports the required named action.
