/**
 * This method transforms a doc worker's public url as needed based on the request.
 *
 * For historic reasons, doc workers are assigned a public url at the time
 * of creation.  In production/staging, this is of the form:
 *   https://doc-worker-NNN-NNN-NNN-NNN.getgrist.com/v/VVVV/
 * and in dev:
 *   http://localhost:NNNN/v/VVVV/
 *
 * Prior to support for different base domains, this was fine.  Now that different
 * base domains are supported, a wrinkle arises.  When a web client communicates
 * with a doc worker, it is important that it accesses the doc worker via a url
 * containing the same base domain as the web page the client is on (for cookie
 * purposes).  Hence this method.
 *
 * If both the request and docWorkerUrl contain identifiable base domains (not localhost),
 * then the base domain of docWorkerUrl is replaced with that of the request.
 *
 * But wait, there's another wrinkle: custom domains. In this case, we have a single
 * domain available to serve a particular org from. This method will use the origin of req
 * and include a /dw/doc-worker-NNN-NNN-NNN-NNN/
 * (or /dw/local-NNNN/) prefix in all doc worker paths.  Once this is in place, it
 * will allow doc worker routing to be changed so it can be overlaid on a custom
 * domain.
 *
 * TODO: doc worker registration could be redesigned to remove the assumption
 * of a fixed base domain.

 *
 * Gets the worker responsible for a given assignment, and fetches a url
 * from the worker.
 *
 * If the fetch fails, we throw an exception, unless we see enough evidence
 * to unassign the worker and try again.
 *
 *  - If GRIST_MANAGED_WORKERS is set, we assume that we've arranged
 *    for unhealthy workers to be removed automatically, and that if a
 *    fetch returns a 404 with specific content, it is proof that the
 *    worker is no longer in existence. So if we see a 404 with that
 *    specific content, we can safely de-list the worker from redis,
 *    and repeat.
 *  - If GRIST_MANAGED_WORKERS is not set, we accept a broader set
 *    of failures as evidence of a missing worker.
 *
 * The specific content of a 404 that will be treated as evidence of
 * a doc worker not being present is:
 *  - A json format body
 *  - With a key called "message"
 *  - With the value of "message" being "document worker not present"
 *  In production, this is provided by a special doc-worker-* load balancer
 *  rule.
