Summary:
This removes problematic code that was holding a HomeDB transaction while applying user actions which could hang indefinitely, especially if the webhook queue is full as in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C05DBJ6LA1F/p1698159750945949.
The discussion about adding this code is here: https://phab.getgrist.com/D3821#inline-45054
The initial motivation was to roll back HomeDB changes if something went wrong while applying user actions, to avoid saving only part of the changes the user requested. I think it's actually fine to just allow such a partial save to happen - I don't see anything particularly undesirable about keeping an update to the webhook URL if other updates requested by the user didn't also get applied, as the fields don't affect each other.
The comment approving the transaction approach said "so we shouldn't end up leave the transaction hanging around too long" which has been falsified.
It looks like there was also some desire to prevent a mess caused by multiple simultaneous calls to this endpoint, which the transaction may have helped with a little, but didn't really seem like a solution. Comments in `Triggers.ts` also mention fears of race conditions when clearing (some of) the queue and the need for some locking. So I wrapped all webhook-related endpoints in a simple `Mutex` held by the `ActiveDoc` to prevent simultaneous changes. I *think* this is a good thing. These endpoints shouldn't be called frequently enough to create a performance issue, and this shouldn't affect actually sending webhook events when records are added/updated. And it does seem like interleaving calls to these endpoints could cause very weird problems.
Test Plan: Nothing yet, I'd like to hear if others think this is sensible.

Summary:
When action is pruned by ACL rules, the rule engine sometimes
rewrites actions, setting NULLs for boolean columns as a default value.
Null was not considered a valid value and it resulted in a bug in the UI
where the editor for the Toggle column was not rendered.

Pyodide packages needed rebuilding, and the pyodide project has
moved on a bit so a new version number is needed. The new packages
have already been built and pushed to S3.
To verify, go to `sandbox/pyodide` and follow the README there.
Then at top level do `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=pyodide`. Try to
create and edit a document using formulas. It should work.
Summary: Enabling the `GRIST_NEW_COLUMN_MENU` flag by default and removing it.

Summary:
By default, only respect GRIST_FORWARD_AUTH_HEADER on login endpoints; sessions are used elsewhere.
With GRIST_IGNORE_SESSION, do not use sessions, and respect GRIST_FORWARD_AUTH_HEADER on all endpoints.
GRIST_PROXY_AUTH_HEADER is now a synonym to GRIST_FORWARD_AUTH_HEADER.
Test Plan: Fixed tests. Tested first approach (no GRIST_IGNORE_SESSION) with grist-omnibus manually. Tested the second approach (with GRIST_IGNORE_SESSION) with a Apache-based setup enforcing http basic auth on all endpoints.

The getHostType() now returns "native" when the host corresponds to the value of APP_DOC_INTERNAL_URL. T
While trying to scale, with a different internal and public URL for doc workers, and having configured the org to be specified in the path (GRIST_ORG_IN_PATH=true), the APP_DOC_INTERNAL_URL parameter was not treated as internal which made the connection between home server and doc workers impossible.

Summary: While looking at webhooks code, I noticed that it calls `ActiveDoc.fetchQuery` (which I think typically leads to the sandbox method `fetch_table`) with a query on the `id` column, where the values could potentially be all row IDs in the table (e.g. if a new column was added, as in a recent discussion about webhooks gone wrong). This suggests that `fetch_table` should try to avoid using a list for values when possible. In practice this only starts to become an issue at about 10k rows, so I don't know if this has caused any real problems, but it seemed like something worth fixing.
Test Plan:
Extended unit tests for correctness. Tested performance manually. Made a doc with this formula:
```
import time
row_ids = list(Table2.table.row_ids)
query = {"id": row_ids}
start = time.time()
result = table.table._engine.fetch_table('Table2', query=query)
end = time.time()
assert result[1] == row_ids
end - start, len(row_ids)
```
Then put a bunch of rows in `Table2`. This diff made the returned elapsed time much less.

Summary:
Recently, the server became more strict about not responding to
requests before being fully configured. This is a problem when
a doc worker is trying to check whether it has become available
from a load balancer.
This change gives access to health checks prior to configuration
being complete. Otherwise, app endpoints accessed before full
configuration return a 503.
A flag is added to /status to allow checking explicitly for
the server being ready and configured.

This makes a few refinements to bundling widgets:
* A widget with `published: false` is not shown in the
custom widget dropdown in the UI. This is so widgets
can be bundled with the app for "native" use (like the
calendar widget) without immediately resulting in an
extra listing in the UI. (There are improvements we'd
like to make to the UI to better communicate widget
provenance and quality eventually, which would be a
helpful alternative to just a binary flag.)
* A relative path to the custom widget manifest is
respected. This will make the bundling process marginally
neater.
Summary:
When converting changing the type of Any column, try to guess
the widgetOptions. Especially important for choice and choiceList types.
