(core) External requests
Summary: Adds a Python function `REQUEST` which makes an HTTP GET request. Behind the scenes it: - Raises a special exception to stop trying to evaluate the current cell and just keep the existing value. - Notes the request arguments which will be returned by `apply_user_actions`. - Makes the actual request in NodeJS, which sends back the raw response data in a new action `RespondToRequests` which reevaluates the cell(s) that made the request. - Wraps the response data in a class which mimics the `Response` class of the `requests` library. In certain cases, this asynchronous flow doesn't work and the sandbox will instead synchronously call an exported JS method: - When reevaluating a single cell to get a formula error, the request is made synchronously. - When a formula makes multiple requests, the earlier responses are retrieved synchronously from files which store responses as long as needed to complete evaluating formulas.
