Refactor generate package

[haoming29]

Close #304

One question for the reviewer is that do we actually want to exclude the generator files for the release? I tried to use //go:build ignore in the generate package but that will make go generate malfunction with missing function import in between Go files.

@haoming29 I do think, ideally, in releases we would include the generated files and not the generator files, but I (and Brian) also don't like the idea of committing generated files to the repo which is, I think, what would be required. So I think we need to bow to what works over what's ideal. I'll take a look and see if I have a solution.

@haoming29 I don't think we want to exclude the generator files in the release, at least for now. I think the solution might be some fussing the with the GitHub ci that allows us to generate the generated files and then exclude the generator files solely in the release pipeline. I also think that's a separate issue than this review.

LGTM!

Make sense to me. I will create another ticket for what we discussed here
