Summary:
- Substantial refactoring of the logic when the server fails to send some
messages to a client.
- Add seqId numbers to server messages to ensure reliable order.
- Add a needReload flag in clientConnect for a clear indication whent the
browser client needs to reload the app.
- Reproduce some potential failure scenarios in a test case (some of which
previously could have led to incorrectly ordered messages).
- Convert other Comm tests to typescript.
- Tweak logging of Comm and Client to be slightly more concise (in particular,
avoid logging sessionId)
Note that despite the big refactoring, this only addresses a fairly rare
situation, with websocket failures while server is trying to send to the
client. It includes no improvements for failures while the client is sending to
the server.
(I looked for an existing library that would take care of these issues. A relevant article I found is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-web-pubsub/howto-develop-reliable-clients, but it doesn't include a library for both ends, and is still in review. Other libraries with similar purposes did not inspire enough confidence.)
Test Plan: New test cases, which reproduce some previously problematic scenarios.

Summary:
Introduces a new message type, docUsage, that's broadcast to all connected
clients whenever document usage is updated in ActiveDoc.

Summary:
This allows limiting the memory available to documents in the sandbox when gvisor is used. If memory limit is exceeded, we offer to open doc in recovery mode. Recovery mode is tweaked to open docs with tables in "ondemand" mode, which will generally take less memory and allow for deleting rows.
The limit is on the size of the virtual address space available to the sandbox (`RLIMIT_AS`), which in practice appears to function as one would want, and is the only practical option. There is a documented `RLIMIT_RSS` limit to `specifies the limit (in bytes) of the process's resident set (the number of virtual pages resident in RAM)` but this is no longer enforced by the kernel (neither the host nor gvisor).
When the sandbox runs out of memory, there are many ways it can fail. This diff catches all the ones I saw, but there could be more.

Summary: Removed test/aws/, most of app/server/lib/, 3 dirs in app/lambda/, corresponding tests, and more!
Test Plan: a lot of this is quite the opposite...

Summary:
We used tslint earlier, and on switching to eslint, some rules were not
transfered. This moves more rules over, for consistent conventions or helpful
warnings.
- Name private members with a leading underscore.
- Prefer interface over a type alias.
- Use consistent spacing around ':' in type annotations.
- Use consistent spacing around braces of code blocks.
- Use semicolons consistently at the ends of statements.
- Use braces around even one-liner blocks, like conditionals and loops.
- Warn about shadowed variables.
Test Plan: Fixed all new warnings. Should be no behavior changes in code.

Summary:
- Support schema changes in the presence of non-trivial ACL rules.
- Fix update of `aclFormulaParsed` when updating formulas automatically after schema change.
- Filter private metadata in broadcasts, not just fetches. Censorship method is unchanged, just refactored.
- Allow only owners to change ACL rules.
- Force reloads if rules are changed.
- Track rule changes within bundle, for clarity during schema changes - tableId and colId changes create a muddle otherwise.
- Show or forbid pages dynamically depending on user's access to its sections. Logic unchanged, just no longer requires reload.
- Fix calculation of pre-existing rows touched by a bundle, in the presence of schema changes.
- Gray out acl page for non-owners.

Summary:
With this change, if a comment is added to an ACL formula, then that comment will be offered to the user if access is denied and that rule could potentially have granted access.
The code is factored so that when access is permitted, or when partially visible tables are being filtered, there is little overhead. Comments are gathered only when an explicit denial of access.

Summary:
This adds any parameters in a document url whose key ends in '_'
into a `user.Link` object available in access control formulas
and in setting up characteristic tables.
This allows, for example, sending links to a document that contain
a hard-to-guess token, and having that link grant access to a
controlled part of the document (invoices for a specific customer
for example).
A `user.Origin` field is also added, set during rest api calls,
but is only tested manually at this point. It could be elaborated
for embedding use-cases.

Summary:
This moves all client code to core, and makes minimal fix-ups to
get grist and grist-core to compile correctly. The client works
in core, but I'm leaving clean-up around the build and bundles to
follow-up.
Test Plan: existing tests pass; server-dev bundle looks sane
