Alex Hall	116fb15eda	(core) Move most of the reference parsing code into common so that the server can use it ... Summary: Refactoring in preparation for parsing strings from the API. The plan is that the API code will only need to do a server-side version of the code in ViewFieldRec.valueParser (minus ReferenceUtils) which is quite minimal. Test Plan: Nothing extra here, I don't think it's needed. This stuff will get tested more in a future diff which changes the API.

Alex Hall	ecb30eebb8	(core) Parsing multiple values in reflists, parsing refs without table data in client ... Summary: Added a new object type code `l` (for lookup) which can be used in user actions as a temporary cell value in ref[list] columns and is immediately converted to a row ID in the data engine. 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. Test Plan: Added another table "Multi-References" to CopyPaste test. Made that table and the References table test with and without table data loaded in the browser.

Alex Hall	d63da496a8	(core) Value parsing for refs, parsing data entry for numbers ... Summary: Handle reference columns in ViewFieldRec.valueParser. Extracted code for reuse from ReferenceEditor to look up values in the visible column. While I was at it, also extracted a bit of common code from ReferenceEditor and ReferenceListEditor into a new class ReferenceUtils. More refactoring could be done in this area but it's out of scope. Changed NTextEditor to use field.valueParser, which affects numeric and reference fields. In particular this means numbers are parsed on data entry, it doesn't change anything for references. Test Plan: Added more CopyPaste testing to test references. Tested entering slightly formatted numbers in NumberFormatting.
