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:
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:
This adds support for bundling custom widgets with the Grist app, as follows:
* Adds a new `widgets` component to plugins mechanism.
* When a set of widgets is provided in a plugin, the html/js/css assets for those widgets are served on the existing untrusted user content port.
* Any bundled `grist-plugin-api.js` will be served with the Grist app's own version of that file. It is important that bundled widgets not refer to https://docs.getgrist.com for the plugin js, since they must be capable of working offline.
* The logic for configuring that port is updated a bit.
* I removed the CustomAttachedView class in favor of applying settings of bundled custom widgets more directly, without modification on view.
Any Grist installation via docker will need an extra step now, since there is an extra port that needs exposing for full functionality. I did add a `GRIST_TRUST_PLUGINS` option for anyone who really doesn't want to do this, and would prefer to trust the plugins and have them served on the same port.
Actually making use of bundling will be another step. It'll be important to mesh it with our SaaS's use of APP_STATIC_URL for serving most static assets.

Summary:
Add two shutdown-related timeouts.
1. One is to limit the duration of any work that happens once shutdown
begins. In particular, waiting for an update to current time could block
indefinitely if the data engine is unresponsive. Such awaits are now
limited to 5 seconds.
2. The other is to allow documents to get shutdown for inactivity even when
some work takes forever. Certain work (e.g. applying user actions)
generally prevents a document from shutting down while it's pending. This
prevention is now limited to 5 minutes.
Shutting down a doc while something is pending may break some
assumptions, and lead to errors. The timeout is long to let us assume
that the work is stuck, and that errors are better than waiting forever.
Other changes:
- Periodic ActiveDoc work (intervals) is now started when a doc finishes
loading rather than in the constructor. The difference only showed up in
tests which makes the intervals much shorter.
- Move timeoutReached() utility function to gutil, and use it for
isLongerThan(), since they are basically identical. Also makes sure that the
timer in these is cleared in all cases.
- Remove duplicate waitForIt implementation (previously had a copy in both
test/server and core/test/server).
- Change testUtil.captureLog to pass messages to its callback, to allow asserts
on messages within the callback.
Test Plan:
Added new unittests for the new shutdowns, including a replication
of a bad state that was possible during shutdown.

Adds a dummy default export to the worker exporter script used
for producing XLSX. This method exists only to make Piscina
happier. With it, Piscina will load this file using a regular
require(), which under Electron will deal fine with Electron's
ASAR app bundle. Without it, Piscina will try fancier methods
that aren't at the time of writing correctly patched to
deal with an ASAR app bundle, and so report that this
file doesn't exist instead of exporting an XLSX file.
I tried various other solutions such as upgrading Electron,
unpacking various files, patching Piscina, and this was
overall the simplest.

Summary:
Sometimes the model repeats the classes given in the prompt which would mess up extracting the actual formula. This diff solves this by:
1. Changes the generated Python schema so that (a) the thing that needs completing is a plain top level function instead of a property/method inside the class and (2) the classes are fully valid syntax, which makes it easier to
2. Remove classes from the parsed Python code when converting the completion to a formula.
3. Tweak the prompt wording to discourage including classes in general, especially because sometimes the model tries to solve the problem by defining extra methods/attributes/classes.
While I was at it, I changed type hints to use builtins (e.g. `list` instead of `List`) to prevent `from typing import List` which was happening sometimes and would look weird in a formula. Similarly I removed `@dataclass` since that also implies an import, and this also fits with the tweaked wording that the classes are fake.
Test Plan:
Added a new test case to the formula dataset which triggers the unwanted behaviour. The factors that seem to trigger the problem are (1) a small schema so the classes are easier to repeat and (2) the need to import modules, which the model wants to place before all other code. The case failed before this diff and succeeded after. The tweaked wording reduces the chances of repeating the classes but didn't eliminate it, so forcibly removing the classes in Python was needed.
There were also a couple of other existing cases where repeating the classes was observed before but not after.
Overall the score increased from 49 to 51 out of 69 (including the new case). At one point the score was 53, but changes in whitespace were enough to make it drop again.
