Summary:
This calls a new `initialize` method on the sandbox before we start
doing calculations with it, to make sure that `random.seed()` has
been called. Otherwise, if the sandbox is cloned from a checkpoint,
the seed will have been reset.
The `initialize` method includes the functionality previously done
by `set_doc_url` since it is also initialization/personalization and
this way we avoid introducing another round trip to the sandbox.

Summary:
Comprehensions iterating over `Table.all` like `[foo.bar for foo in Table.all]` led to an error when renaming the column `bar`. This diff fixes that so that renaming `bar` does the same thing as for a comprehension over `Table.lookupRecords()`. Note that `next(foo for foo in Table.all).bar` is still not supported, as the same is not supported for `Table.lookupRecords()` either.

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.
Test Plan:
Updated many tests to use the new style of name.
Added new Python tests to for resolving conflicts when renaming source tables and groupby columns.
Added a test for the migration, including renames in formulas.

Summary:
Adds a Python function `REQUEST` which makes an HTTP GET request. Behind the scenes it:
- Raises a special exception to stop trying to evaluate the current cell and just keep the existing value.
- Notes the request arguments which will be returned by `apply_user_actions`.
- Makes the actual request in NodeJS, which sends back the raw response data in a new action `RespondToRequests` which reevaluates the cell(s) that made the request.
- Wraps the response data in a class which mimics the `Response` class of the `requests` library.
In certain cases, this asynchronous flow doesn't work and the sandbox will instead synchronously call an exported JS method:
- When reevaluating a single cell to get a formula error, the request is made synchronously.
- When a formula makes multiple requests, the earlier responses are retrieved synchronously from files which store responses as long as needed to complete evaluating formulas. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/CL1LQ8AT0/p1653399747810139

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).

Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:
* Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
overlay of extra code if present.
* Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
and `stubs/app`.
* The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
* The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
`grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
license.
Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:
```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```
Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:
```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```
The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:
```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
-v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```
This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.
I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:
* Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
with grist-core as the monorepo has.
* Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
* Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
`--build-context` functionality made that possible).
* Compatibility with monorepo build.
Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.
This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.

- The source type isn't Text, because in that case it's nice if type guessing still happens

This adds support for gvisor sandboxing in core. When Grist is run outside of a container, regular gvisor can be used (if on linux), and will run in rootless mode. When Grist is run inside a container, docker's default policy is insufficient for running gvisor, so a fork of gvisor is used that has less defence-in-depth but can run without privileges.
Sandboxing is automatically turned on in the Grist core container. It is not turned on automatically when built from source, since it is operating-system dependent.

This is a fix for a bug discussed in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1645138610722889
I still haven't completely wrapped my head around it or figured out how to make a simple reproducible example, but the problem seems to be that a lookup can happen before the column(s) being looked up (the summary helper column in this case) have been computed fully (I think it got interrupted halfway by an OrderError). `do_lookup` would check via `engine._use_node` that the row IDs it found had all been computed already, but there might still be other rows that hadn't been computed yet and would also have values matching the lookup key, so it missed those.
This diff instead calls `_use_node` with no `row_ids` argument, which should ensure that all rows have already been computed.
At first I was worried about how this would affect performance, which led me down an optimisation rabbit hole, hence a bit of unrelated cleanup here and also https://phab.getgrist.com/D3310 . But it doesn't seem to be a problem, and IIUC it should actually make things better, although this code is pretty confusing.
Test Plan: Tested manually that the doc no longer behaves weirdly

Summary:
This is an attempt to optimise Engine._use_node. It doesn't seem to actually improve overall performance significantly, but it shouldn't make it worse, and I think it's an improvement to the code.
It turns out that there's no need to track a stack of compute frames any more. The only time we get close to nested evaluation, we set allow_evaluation=False to prevent it actually happening. So there's only one 'frame' during actual evaluation, which means we can get rid of the concept of frames entirely. This allows simplifying the code and letting the computer do less work in general.

Summary:
- Removed string parsing and some type guessing code from parse_data.py. That logic is now implicitly done by ValueGuesser by leaving the initial column type as Any. parse_data.py mostly comes into play when importing files (e.g. Excel) containing values that already have types, i.e. numbers and dates.
- 0s and 1s are treated as numbers instead of booleans to keep imports lossless.
- Removed dateguess.py and test_dateguess.py.
- Changed what `guessDateFormat` does when multiple date formats work equally well for the given data, in order to be consistent with the old dateguess.py.
- Columns containing numbers are now always imported as Numeric, never Int.
- Removed `NullIfEmptyParser` because it was interfering with the new system. Its purpose was to avoid pointlessly changing a column from Any to Text when no actual data was inserted. A different solution to that problem was already added to `_ensure_column_accepts_data` in the data engine in a recent related diff.
Test Plan:
- Added 2 `nbrowser/Importer2` tests.
- Updated various existing tests.
- Extended testing of `guessDateFormat`. Added `guessDateFormats` to show how ambiguous dates are handled internally.

Summary:
This makes a `user.SessionID` value available in information about the user, for use with trigger formulas and granular access rules. The ID should be constant within a browser session for anonymous user. For logged in users it simply reflects their user id.
This ID makes it possible to write access rules and trigger formulas that allow different anonymous users to create, view, and edit their own records in a document.
For example, you could have a brain-storming document for puns, and allow anyone to add to it (without logging in), letting people edit their own records, but not showing the records to others until they are approved by a moderator. Without something like this, we could only let anonymous people add one field of a record, and not have a secure way to let them edit that field or others in the same record.
Also adds a `user.IsLoggedIn` flag in passing.
Test Plan: Added a test, updated tests. The test added is a mini-moderation doc, don't use it for real because it allows users to edit their entries after a moderator has approved them.

The value contains the original raw string (to be used as alt text), the column ID to lookup (typically the visible column) and one or more values to lookup.
For reflists, valueParser now tries parsing the string first as JSON, then as a CSV row, and applies the visible column parsed to each item.
Both ref and reflists columns no longer format the parsed value when there's no matching reference, the original unparsed string is used as alttext instead.

Summary:
This verifies that all existing tests are capable of running under python3/gvisor, and fixes the small issues that came up. It does not yet activate python3 tests on all diffs, only diffs that specifically request them.
* Adds a suffix in test names and output directories for tests run with PYTHON_VERSION=3, so that results of the same test run with and without the flag can be aggregated cleanly.
* Adds support for checkpointing to the gvisor sandbox adapter.
* Prepares a checkpoint made after grist python code has loaded in the gvisor sandbox.
* Changes how `DOC_URL` is passed to the sandbox, since it can no longer be passed in as an environment variable when using checkpoints.
* Uses the checkpoint to speed up tests using the gvisor sandbox, otherwise a lot of tests need more time (especially on mac under docker).
* Directs jenkins to run all tests with python2 and python3 when a new file `buildtools/changelogs/python.txt` is touched (this diff counts as touching that file).
* Tweaks miscellaneous tests
- some needed fixes exposed by slightly different timing
- a small number actually give different results in py3 (removal of `u` prefixes).
- some needed a little more time
The DOC_URL change is not the ultimate solution we want for DOC_URL. Eventually it should be a variable that gets updated, like the date perhaps. This is just a small pragmatic change to preserve existing behavior.
Tests are run mindlessly as py3, and for some tests it won't change anything (e.g. if they do not use NSandbox). Tests are not run in parallel, doubling overall test time.
Checkpoints could be useful in deployment, though this diff doesn't use them there.
The application of checkpoints doesn't check for other configuration like 3-versus-5-pipe that we don't actually use.
Python2 tests run using pynbox as always for now.
The diff got sufficiently bulky that I didn't tackle running py3 on "regular" diffs in it. My preference, given that most tests don't appear to stress the python side of things, would be to make a selection of the tests that do and a few wild cards, and run those tests on both pythons rather then all of them. For diffs making a significant python change, I'd propose touching buildtools/changelogs/python.txt for full tests. But this is a conversation in progress.
A total of 6886 tests ran on this diff.
Test Plan: this is a step in preparing tests for py3 transition

Summary:
The problem: For a data-cleaning column (one that depends on itself) `doBulkUpdateRecord` calls `prevent_recalc(should_prevent=False)``
which is supposed to cause it to get calculated eventually.
But before that it calls `_do_doc_action` -> `apply_doc_action` -> `_bring_lookups_up_to_date` which recalculates
a lookup column which eventually calls `_recompute_step(allow_evaluation=False)` on the data-cleaning column
which shouldn't really do anything significant but it both modifies the set `self.recompute_map[node]`
and then removes it from the map after it's empty.
The solution: when `allow_evaluation=False` and `self._prevent_recompute_map[node]` is nonempty,
ensure `self.recompute_map[node]` is not modified,
and check the map directly (instead of `dirty_rows` which can now be separate) to see if the set is empty before cleanup.
Test Plan: Added a lookup column to test_self_trigger, ensured that this caused the test to fail without the other two changes in engine.py.
