* Replace `ormconfig.js` with a newer mechanism of configuring
TypeORM that can be included in the source code properly.
The path to `ormconfig.js` has always been awkward to handle,
and eliminating the file makes building different Grist setups
a bit simpler.
* Remove `electron` package. It is barely used, just for some old
remnants of an older attempt at electron packaging. It was used
for two types, which I left at `any` for now. More code pruning is
no doubt possible here, but I'd rather do it when Electron packaging
has solidified.
* Add a hook for replacing the login system, and for adding some
extra middleware the login system may need.
* Add support for some more possible locations of Python, which
arise when a standalone version of it is included in the Electron
package. This isn't very general purpose, just configurations
that I found useful.
* Support using grist-core within a yarn workspace - the only tweak
needed was webpack related.
* Allow an external ID to be optionally associated with documents.
Summary:
This updates the grist-core README to list specific features of Grist,
to make it easier for a casual visitor to get a sense of its scope. Adds links
to some new resources (reviews, templates, grist v airtable post) that could
also help. Adds python3 to docker image so that templates work without fuss.
Test Plan: existing tests should pass

Summary:
* Moves essential plugins to grist-core, so that basic imports (e.g. csv) work.
* Adds support for a `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR` flag that can systematically override how the data engine is run.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=pynbox` is "classic" nacl-based sandbox.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=docker` runs engines in individual docker containers. It requires an image specified in `sandbox/docker` (alternative images can be named with `GRIST_SANDBOX` flag - need to contain python and engine requirements). It is a simple reference implementation for sandboxing.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=unsandboxed` runs whatever local version of python is specified by a `GRIST_SANDBOX` flag directly, with no sandboxing. Engine requirements must be installed, so an absolute path to a python executable in a virtualenv is easiest to manage.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=gvisor` runs the data engine via gvisor's runsc. Experimental, with implementation not included in grist-core. Since gvisor runs on Linux only, this flavor supports wrapping the sandboxes in a single shared docker container.
* Tweaks some recent express query parameter code to work in grist-core, which has a slightly different version of express (smoke test doesn't catch this since in Jenkins core is built within a workspace that has node_modules, and wires get crossed - in a dev environment the problem on master can be seen by doing `buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/any_path_outside_grist`).
The new sandbox options do not have tests yet, nor does this they change the behavior of grist servers today. They are there to clean up and consolidate a collection of patches I've been using that were getting cumbersome, and make it easier to run experiments.
I haven't looked closely at imports beyond core.
Test Plan: tested manually against regular grist and grist-core, including imports
