65966e4cfd (core) use visibility information when sharing referenced columns with forms
Summary:
This tightens down the set of referenced columns made available to
forms for dropdowns. Previous access to columns was computed at the
level of shared tables. Now it is calculated at the level of shared
sections. That means that we can now refrain from following hidden
references, and make the referred data unavailable to forms, since
they should not need it.

Test Plan: extended test

0130409447 (core) Fix null references in form fields bug
Summary:
Shares and documents would both produce a rule set for the same column
if the document rule set was for multiple columns. In this case, it was causing
one of the rules to be overwritten by the other (specifically, the rule granting
access to form references was not being applied in shares). The symptom was
`null` values in place of the referenced table's values.

We address this by splitting any rule sets for multiple columns that are also
affected by shares, so that they can be overridden by shares without causing a
conflicting rule set to be created (i.e. 2 column rule sets containing the same column).

Test Plan: Server tests.

e380fcfa90 (core) Admin Panel and InstallAdmin class to identify installation admins.
Summary:
- Add InstallAdmin class to identify users who can manage Grist installation.

  This is overridable by different Grist flavors (e.g. different in SaaS).
  It generalizes previous logic used to decide who can control Activation
  settings (e.g. enable telemetry).

- Implement a basic Admin Panel at /admin, and move items previously in the
  "Support Grist" page into the "Support Grist" section of the Admin Panel.

- Replace "Support Grist" menu items with "Admin Panel" and show only to admins.

- Add "Support Grist" links to Github sponsorship to user-account menu.

- Add "Support Grist" button to top-bar, which
  - for admins, replaces the previous "Contribute" button and reopens the "Support Grist / opt-in to telemetry" nudge (unchanged)
  - for everyone else, links to Github sponsorship
  - in either case, user can dismiss it.

Test Plan: Shuffled some test cases between Support Grist and the new Admin Panel, and added some new cases.

ca8ac806db (core) Trim unapplicable permissions bits for column rules, both at parse time, and in UI
Summary:
- UI now trims column rules before saving.
- When rules are loaded, bits that aren't applicable to a resource get ignored.
  This should fix the incorrect behavior in existing docs without a migration.

- Added test of UI, that it now sends trimmed rules
- Added a unitteset of new trimPermissions() function
- Add test of fixed interpretation of existing rules: now only permission bits
  applicable to a resource get respected. I.e. create/delete/schemaEdit are
  ignored in column rules, and schemaEdit is also ignored in table rules.
- Note that DuplicateTest was affected: updated on the assumption that
  schemaEdit still can't actually apply at a table level.

fc44a60edf (core) When reporting email in log metadata, use normalized email.
Summary:
There has been inconsistency in using display email vs normalized email, which
ends up creating some duplication in downstream analyses (e.g. the same user
showing up twice with different capitalization).

1. Add UserProfile.loginEmail field with normalized email to prefer, when set, over the inconsistently used UserProfile.email.
2. In one place where it's not available, normalize the display email manually.
3. Clean up some code in Client.ts.

Unrelated tweak to API Console to be clear when a URL parameter wasn't found (rather than show whatever happens to be the first value).

Several test robustness improvements:
- Misplaced parenthesis in gristWebDriverUtils has been causing optTimeout argument to be ignored in tests, and treated always as indefinite.
- Attempt to fix SortMenu test by ignoring (retrying with logging) errors in waitForServer, which include "script timeout" errors that come from a non-configurable selenium or chromedriver timeout.
- Attempt to improve onNewTab() helper, which plays a role in failing Billing tests.

Test Plan: Tested manually the capitalization of logged emails. Counting on existing tests to catch issues.

2. When guessing number format, set maxDecimals when it's needed
   (otherwise, e.g. "$1.234", or "4.5%" weren't guessed as numeric)
3. When guessing number format, ignore whitespace when deciding if
   guessed format is correct (otherwise percents can't be guessed in
   locales which add "%" with a non-breaking space before it).

2a206dfcf8 (core) add initial support for special shares
Summary:
This gives a mechanism for controlling access control within a document that is distinct from (though implemented with the same machinery as) granular access rules.

It was hard to find a good way to insert this that didn't dissolve in a soup of complications, so here's what I went with:
 * When reading rules, if there are shares, extra rules are added.
 * If there are shares, all rules are made conditional on a "ShareRef" user property.
 * "ShareRef" is null when a doc is accessed in normal way, and the row id of a share when accessed via a share.

There's no UI for controlling shares (George is working on it for forms), but you can do it by editing a `_grist_Shares` table in a document. Suppose you make a fresh document with a single page/table/widget, then to create an empty share you can do:

```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['AddRecord', '_grist_Shares', null, {linkId: 'xyz', options: '{"publish": true}'}])
```

If you look at the home db now there should be something in the `shares` table:

```
$ sqlite3 -table landing.db "select * from shares"
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| id |          key           |         doc_id         |   link_id    | options |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| 1  | gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K | 4qYuace1xP2CTcPunFdtan | xyz | ...      |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
```

If you take the key from that (gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K in this case) and replace the document's urlId in its URL with `s.<key>` (in this case `s.gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K` then you can use the regular document landing page (it will be quite blank initially) or API endpoint via the share.

E.g. for me `http://localhost:8080/o/docs/s0gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K/share-inter-3` accesses the doc.

To actually share some material - useful commands:

```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Views_section').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Views_section', 1, {shareOptions: '{"publish": true, "form": true}'}])
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Pages').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Pages', 1, {shareRef: 1}])
```

For a share to be effective, at least one page needs to have its shareRef set to the rowId of the share, and at least one widget on one of those pages needs to have its shareOptions set to {"publish": "true", "form": "true"} (meaning turn on sharing, and include form sharing), and the share itself needs {"publish": true} on its options.

I think special shares are kind of incompatible with public sharing, since by their nature (allowing access to all endpoints) they easily expose the docId, and changing that would be hard.

3dfe4be5f3 (core) Remove DB transaction from webhook update, add mutex to all webhook endpoints
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.

67dc41776d (core) Treating null in toggle column as a valid value
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.

Test Plan: Added new
