876a0298a2 (core) do not look at content of recent actions when loading documents
Summary:
This removes the need for any information drawn from the content of recent actions when loading a document.

The undo/redo system does need some facts about recent actions up front. But that system has an important restriction: only actions a particular client is known to have generated can be undone by that client.

So in this diff, as we store which client has performed an action, we also store the few pieces of metadata about that action that the undo/redo system needs: `linkId`, `otherId`, `rowIdHint`, `isUndo` fields. These are all small integers (or in one case a boolean).

An existing limitation is that information about which client has performed which action is stored in memory in the worker, and not persisted anywhere. This diff does not change that limitation, meaning that undos continue to not survive a worker transition. A reasonable way to deal with that would be to back the store with redis.

Test Plan: existing tests pass

24e76b4abc (core) add endpoints for clearing snapshots and actions
Summary:
This adds a snapshots/remove and states/remove endpoint, primarily
for maintenance work rather than for the end user.  If some secret
gets into document history, it is useful to be able to purge it
in an orderly way.

Test Plan: added tests

e2226c3ab7 (core) Store formula values in DB, and include them into .stored/.undo fields of actions.
Summary:
- Introduce a new SQLiteDB migration, which adds DB columns for formula columns
- Newly added columns have the special ['P'] (pending) value in them
  (in order to show the usual "Loading..." on the first load that triggers the migration)
- Calculated values are added to .stored/.undo fields of user actions.
- Various changes made in the sandbox to include .stored/.undo in the right order.
- OnDemand tables ignore stored formula columns, replacing them with special SQL as before
- In particular, converting to OnDemand table leaves stale values in those
  columns, we should maybe clean those out.

Some tweaks on the side:
- Allow overriding chai assertion truncateThreshold with CHAI_TRUNCATE_THRESHOLD
- Rebuild python automatically in watch mode

Test Plan: Fixed various tests, updated some fixtures. Many python tests that check actions needed adjustments because actions moved from .stored to .undo. Some checks added to catch situations previously only caught in browser tests.

dfdb54fcbd (core) When parsing ActionHistory into ActionGroups, avoid keeping many large actions in memory.
Summary:
Add a unittest that start the server with limited memory, and build just enough
of ActionHistory to crash the server before this fix, and not after.

Test Plan: Tested manually with various memory prints, and added a test.

5ef889addd (core) move home server into core
Summary: This moves enough server material into core to run a home server.  The data engine is not yet incorporated (though in manual testing it works when ported).

Test Plan: existing tests pass
