c5ebd7db3d (core) Add PEEK() function to bypass circular dependencies
Summary:
Adds a Python function `PEEK()` for use in formulas which temporarily sets a new attribute `Engine._peeking` which disables the `_use_node` method, preventing dependency tracking and allowing the given expression to use outdated values. This allows circumventing circular reference errors. It's particularly meant for trigger formulas although it works in normal formulas as well. The expression is wrapped in a `lambda` by `codebuilder` for lazy evaluation.

Test Plan: Added a Python unit test for circular trigger formulas using PEEK.

fb575a8b7e (core) Ensure formulas return something and don't assign to attributes of rec
Summary: To help with mistakes in formulas, forbid assigning to attributes of `rec` (e.g. `$foo = 1` which should probably be `==`) and ensure that there is at least one `return` in the formula (after maybe adding an implicit one at the end).

Test Plan: Extended Python unit test, updated tests which were missing return.
