Summary:
Trigger formulas can be calculated for new records, or for new records and
updates to certain fields, or all fields. They do not recalculate on open,
and they MAY be set directly by the user, including for data-cleaning.
- Column metadata now includes recalcWhen and recalcDeps fields.
- Trigger formulas are NOT recalculated on open or on schema changes.
- When recalcWhen is "never", formula isn't calculated even for new records.
- When recalcWhen is "allupdates", formula is calculated for new records and
any manual (non-formula) updates to the record.
- When recalcWhen is "", formula is calculated for new records, and changes to
recalcDeps fields (which may be formula fields or column itself).
- A column whose recalcDeps includes itself is a "data-cleaning" column; a
value set by the user will still trigger the formula.
- All trigger-formulas receive a "value" argument (to support the case above).
Small changes
- Update RefLists (used for recalcDeps) when target rows are deleted.
- Add RecordList.__contains__ (for `rec in refList` or `id in refList` checks)
- Clarify that Calculate action has replaced load_done() in practice,
and use it in tests too, to better match reality.
Left for later:
- UI for setting recalcWhen / recalcDeps.
- Implementation of actions such as "Recalculate for all cells".
- Allowing trigger-formulas access to the current user's info.

Summary:
- Introduce a new SQLiteDB migration, which adds DB columns for formula columns
- Newly added columns have the special ['P'] (pending) value in them
(in order to show the usual "Loading..." on the first load that triggers the migration)
- Calculated values are added to .stored/.undo fields of user actions.
- Various changes made in the sandbox to include .stored/.undo in the right order.
- OnDemand tables ignore stored formula columns, replacing them with special SQL as before
- In particular, converting to OnDemand table leaves stale values in those
columns, we should maybe clean those out.
Some tweaks on the side:
- Allow overriding chai assertion truncateThreshold with CHAI_TRUNCATE_THRESHOLD
- Rebuild python automatically in watch mode
Test Plan: Fixed various tests, updated some fixtures. Many python tests that check actions needed adjustments because actions moved from .stored to .undo. Some checks added to catch situations previously only caught in browser tests.

Summary:
this moves sandbox/grist to core, and adds a requirements.txt
file for reconstructing the content of sandbox/thirdparty.
Test Plan:
existing tests pass.
Tested core functionality manually. Tested docker build manually.
