Summary: Math functions like SUM which call `_chain` were catching `TypeError`s raised by the iterable arguments themselves, e.g. `SUM(r.A / r.B for r in $group)` where `r.A / r.B` raises a `TypeError` would silently return wrong results. This diff narrows the `try/catch` to only check whether the argument is iterable as intended, but not catch errors from the process of iterating.

First iteration for comments system for Grist.
- Comments are stored in a generic metatable `_grist_Cells`
- Each comment is connected to a particular cell (hence the generic name of the table)
- Access level works naturally for records stored in this table
-- User can add/read comments for cells he can see
-- User can't update/remove comments that he doesn't own, but he can delete them by removing cells (rows/columns)
-- Anonymous users can't see comments at all.
- Each comment can have replies (but replies can't have more replies)
Comments are hidden by default, they can be enabled by COMMENTS=true env variable.
Some things for follow-up
- Avatars, currently the user's profile image is not shown or retrieved from the server
- Virtual rendering for comments list in creator panel. Currently, there is a limit of 200 comments.

Summary:
This diff adds a preview of the value of certain autocomplete suggestions, especially of the form `$foo.bar` or `user.email`. The main initial motivation was to show the difference between `$Ref` and `$Ref.DisplayCol`, but the feature is more general.
The client now sends the row ID of the row being edited (along with the table and column IDs which were already sent) to the server to fetch autocomplete suggestions. The returned suggestions are now tuples `(suggestion, example_value)` where `example_value` is a string or null. The example value is simply obtained by evaluating (in a controlled way) the suggestion in the context of the given record and the current user. The string representation is similar to the standard `repr` but dates and datetimes are formatted, and the whole thing is truncated for efficiency.
The example values are shown in the autocomplete popup separated from the actual suggestion by a number of spaces calculated to:
1. Clearly separate the suggestion from the values
2. Left-align the example values in most cases
3. Avoid having so much space such that connecting suggestions and values becomes visually difficult.
The tokenization of the row is then tweaked to show the example in light grey to deemphasise it.
Main discussion where the above was decided: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1661795588100009
The diff also includes various other small improvements and fixes:
- The autocomplete popup is much wider to make room for long suggestions, particularly lookups, as pointed out in https://phab.getgrist.com/D3580#inline-41007. The wide popup is the reason a fancy solution was needed to position the example values. I didn't see a way to dynamically resize the popup based on suggestions, and it didn't seem like a good idea to try.
- The `grist` and `python` labels previously shown on the right are removed. They were not helpful (https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1659697086155179) and would get in the way of the example values.
- Fixed a bug in our custom tokenization that caused function arguments to be weirdly truncated in the middle: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1661956353699169?thread_ts=1661953258.342739&cid=CDHABLZJT and https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1659696778991339
- Hide suggestions involving helper columns like `$gristHelper_Display` or `Table.lookupRecords(gristHelper_Display=` (https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1661953258342739). The former has been around for a while and seems to be a mistake. The fix is simply to use `is_visible_column` instead of `is_user_column`. Since the latter is not used anywhere else, and using it in the first place seems like a mistake more than anything else, I've also removed the function to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
- Don't suggest private columns as lookup arguments: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1662133416652499?thread_ts=1661795588.100009&cid=CDHABLZJT
- Only fetch fresh suggestions specifically after typing `lookupRecords(` or `lookupOne(` rather than just `(`, as this would needlessly hide function suggestions which could still be useful to see the arguments. However this only makes a difference when there are still multiple matching suggestions, otherwise Ace hides them anyway.
Test Plan: Extended and updated several Python and browser tests.

Summary:
This diff adds a new `BulkAddOrUpdateRecord` user action which is what is sounds like:
- A bulk version of the existing `AddOrUpdateRecord` action.
- Much more efficient for operating on many records than applying many individual actions.
- Column values are specified as maps from `colId` to arrays of values as usual.
- Produces bulk versions of `AddRecord` and `UpdateRecord` actions instead of many individual actions.
Examples of users wanting to use something like `AddOrUpdateRecord` with large numbers of records:
- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1651789710290879

- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1663069291726159
I tested what made many `AddOrUpdateRecord` actions slow in the first place. It was almost entirely due to producing many individual `AddRecord` user actions. About half of that time was for processing the resulting `AddRecord` doc actions. Lookups and updates were not a problem. With these changes, the slowness is gone.
The Python user action implementation is more complex but there are no surprises. The JS API now groups `records` based on the keys of `require` and `fields` so that `BulkAddOrUpdateRecord` can be applied to each group.
Test Plan: Update and extend Python and DocApi tests.

Summary:
Fixes a bug noted here: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1662564341132349
This bug could happen quite easily as follows:
1. Have a formula in a summary table such as `$group.amount`. Typically there's also a `SUM` but that's not essential.
2. Find a group with nonzero values of `amount`.
3. Delete all rows in that group in the source table. Typically that just means one row in a lonely group.
4. The summary table row is automatically deleted.
5. Try to undo. This raises an error about trying to update a non-existent summary table row.
I tried to account for this undo problem in https://phab.getgrist.com/D3489 by not saving the updated value for `$group` when it was found to be empty. The reason this was insufficient is that `$group.amount` is immediately invalidated anyway when the source row(s) are deleted (I think because that's just how dependency relations involving references work) *and* the calculated value of `$group.amount` changes even if `$group` doesn't. For example, `$group.amount` may have previously been `[100, 200]`. After deleting the rows, `$group.amount` becomes `[0, 0]`. Keeping `$group` unchanged prevents `$group.amount` from just being `[]`, but deleting the source rows means that the amounts become the numeric default `0` which is still a change. This change in value is then noted which leads to saving an undo action to update the summary table record. All this happens in step 3 above, and the summary record is only deleted after that point.
This diff removes that special handling for `group` and instead adds a more general fix to `action_summary.py`. This inserts undo actions for deleted rows at the beginning of the undo list rather than at the end, which was already done for deleted tables and columns.

Summary:
Python 2 only needs to be supported for the sake of old documents and formulas. This doesn't apply to the separate sandboxes that parse files for imports. Using Python 3 only allows using newer libraries and library versions. In particular, the latest version of openpyxl doesn't support Python 2. This will also make it easier to make other similar changes in the future, such as replacing messytables with a modern library. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1661261829343999?thread_ts=1661260442.837959&cid=C0234CPPXPA

Setting `preferredPythonVersion` to '3' in SafePythonComponent ensures that JS always creates import sandboxes that use Python 3.

Summary:
Makes the following improvements to formula autocomplete:
- When a user types `$RefCol` (or part of it), also show `$RefCol.VisibleCol` (replace actual column names) in the autocomplete even before the `.` is typed, to help users understand the difference between a raw reference/record and its visible column.
- When a user types a table name, show `.lookupOne` and `.lookupRecords` in the autocomplete, again even before the `.` is typed.
- For `.lookupRecords(` and `.lookupOne(`, once the `(` is entered, suggest each column name as a keyword argument.
- Also suggest lookup arguments involving compatible reference columns, especially 'reverse reference' lookups like `refcol=$id` which are very common and difficult for users.
- To support these features, the Ace editor autocomplete needs some patching to fetch fresh autocomplete options after typing `.` or `(`. This also improves unrelated behaviour that wasn't great before when one column name is contained in another. See the first added browser test.

Summary:
Formulas in summary tables were being associated with the source table for automatic updating. When a table/column was renamed such that the formula needed to update to match, it would look for a column with the same colId but in the source table. Such a column might not exist which would lead to an error, or if it existed then the update would be wrong.
This association was created while building formulas to display in the code view in a nested `_Summary` class, it didn't need to exist at all. So this diff simply prevents the association from being created.

Summary:
Changes auto-generated summary table IDs from e.g. `GristSummary_6_Table1` to `Table1_summary_A_B` (meaning `Table1` grouped by `A` and `B`). This makes it easier to write formulas involving summary tables, make API requests, understand logs, etc.
Because these don't encode the source table ID as reliably as before, `decode_summary_table_name` now uses the summary table schema info, not just the summary table ID. Specifically, it looks at the type of the `group` column, which is `RefList:<source table id>`.
Renaming a source table renames the summary table as before, and now renaming a groupby column renames the summary table as well.
Conflicting table names are resolved in the usual way by adding a number at the end, e.g. `Table1_summary_A_B2`. These summary tables are not automatically renamed when the disambiguation is no longer needed.
A new migration renames all summary tables to the new scheme, and updates formulas using summary tables with a simple regex.

Updated many tests to use the new style of name.
