(core) implement authorization via query parameter

Summary:
This adds any parameters in a document url whose key ends in '_'
into a `user.Link` object available in access control formulas
and in setting up characteristic tables.

This allows, for example, sending links to a document that contain
a hard-to-guess token, and having that link grant access to a
controlled part of the document (invoices for a specific customer
for example).

A `user.Origin` field is also added, set during rest api calls,
but is only tested manually at this point.  It could be elaborated
for embedding use-cases.

Test Plan: added test
