Description

This is a follow up issue for Add new query API to expose workspace variables... (!176617 - merged) where we deprecated the type argument in favour of the new variableType on the graphQL Type.WorkspaceVariableInput

It was deprecated in 17.9 and would be eligible for removal in the major release 19.0 according to the deprecation process defined here

We should remove all references of type from Graphql and the BE code for remote_development.

Acceptance criteria

• Removed from graphQL type WorkspaceVariableInput
• All references to the argument type should be replaced with variableType in the BE code
• References updated in specs as well
