The motivation for supporting an alternative to WebSockets is that while all browsers supported by Grist offer native WebSocket support, some networking environments do not allow WebSocket traffic.
Engine.IO is used as the underlying implementation of HTTP long polling. The Grist client will first attempt a regular WebSocket connection, using the same protocol and endpoints as before, but fall back to long polling using Engine.IO if the WebSocket connection fails.
Include these changes:
- CORS websocket requests are now rejected as a stronger security measure. This shouldn’t affect anything in practice; but previously it could be possible to make unauthenticated websocket requests from another origin.
- GRIST_HOST variable no longer affects CORS responses (also should not affect anything in practice, as it wasn't serving a useful purpose)
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.

Summary:
When a user requests to read the contents of an attachment, only allow the request if there exists a cell in an attachment column that contains the attachment and which they have read access to.
This does not cover:
* Granular write access for attachments. In particular, a user who can write to any attachment column should be considered to have full read access to all attachment columns, currently.
* Access control of attachment metadata such as name and format.
The implementation uses a sql query that requires a scan, and some notes on how this could be optimized in future. The web client was updated to specify the cell to check for access, and performance seemed fine in casual testing on a doc with 1000s of attachments. I'm not sure how performance would hold up as the set of access rules grows as well.

Building:
- Builds no longer wait for tsc for either client, server, or test targets. All use esbuild which is very fast.
- Build still runs tsc, but only to report errors. This may be turned off with `SKIP_TSC=1` env var.
- Grist-core continues to build using tsc.
- Esbuild requires ES6 module semantics. Typescript's esModuleInterop is turned
on, so that tsc accepts and enforces correct usage.
- Client-side code is watched and bundled by webpack as before (using esbuild-loader)
Code changes:
- Imports must now follow ES6 semantics: `import * as X from ...` produces a
module object; to import functions or class instances, use `import X from ...`.
- Everything is now built with isolatedModules flag. Some exports were updated for it.
Packages:
- Upgraded browserify dependency, and related packages (used for the distribution-building step).
- Building the distribution now uses esbuild's minification. babel-minify is no longer used.
Test Plan: Should have no behavior changes, existing tests should pass, and docker image should build too.

- Add DataLimitStatus type indicating if the document is approaching the limit, is in a grace period, or is in delete only mode if the grace period started at least 14 days ago. Compute it in ActiveDoc and send it to client when opening.
- Only allow certain user actions when in delete-only mode.
Follow-up tasks related to this diff:
- When DataLimitStatus in the client is non-empty, show a banner to the appropriate users.
- Only send DataLimitStatus to users with the appropriate access. There's no risk landing this now since real users will only see null until free team sites are released.
- Update DataLimitStatus immediately in the client when it changes, e.g. when user actions are applied or the product is changed. Right now it's only sent when the document loads.
- Update row limit, grace period start, and data limit status in ActiveDoc when the product changes, i.e. the user upgrades/downgrades.

Summary:
Firstly I just wanted some more consistency and less repetition in places where Documents are retrieved from the DB, so it's more obvious when code differs from the norm. Main changes for that part:
- Let HomeDBManager accept a `Request` directly and convert it to a `Scope`, and use this in a few places.
- `getScope` tries `req.docAuth.docId` if `req.params` doesn't have a docId.
I also refactored how `_createActiveDoc` gets the document URL, separating out getting the document from getting a URL for it. This is because I want to use that document object in a future diff, but I also just find it cleaner. Notable changes for that:
- Extracted a new method `HomeDBManager.getRawDocById` as an alternative to `getDoc` that's explicitly for when you only have a document ID.
- Removed the interface method `GristServer.getDocUrl` and its two implementations because it wasn't used elsewhere and it didn't really add anything on top of getting a doc (now done by `getRawDocById`) and `getResourceUrl`.
- Between `cachedDoc` and `getRawDocById` (which represent previously existing code paths) also try `getDoc(getScope(docSession.req))`, which is new, because it seems better to only `getRawDocById` as a last resort.

PUT was chosen because it's idempotent. Using a separate method (instead of inferring based on the request body) also cleanly separates validation, documentation, etc.

* Make org resets work in absence of billing endpoints
* When in-memory session caches are used, add missing invalidation steps

* For CORS, explicitly trust GRIST_HOST origin when set
* Move some fixtures and tests to core, focussing on tests that cover existing failures or are in the set of tests run on deployments
* Retain regular `test` target to run the test suite directly, without docker
* Add a `test:smoke` target to run a single simple test without `GRIST_TEST_LOGIN` activated
* Add a `test:docker` target to run the tests against a grist-core docker image - since tests rely on certain fixture teams/docs, added `TEST_SUPPORT_API_KEY` and `TEST_ADD_SAMPLES` flags to ease porting
The tests ported were `nbrowser` tests: `ActionLog.ts` (the first test I tend to port to anything, out of habit), `Fork.ts` (exercises a lot of doc creation paths), `HomeIntro.ts` (a lot of DocMenu exercise), and `DuplicateDocument.ts` (covers a feature known to be failing prior to this diff, the CORS tweak resolves it).
Test Plan: Manually tested via `buildtools/build_core.sh`. In follow up, I want to add running the `test:docker` target in grist-core's workflows. In jenkins, only the smoke test is run. There'd be an argument for running all tests, but they include particularly slow tests, and are duplicates of tests already run (in different configuration admittedly), so I'd like to try first just using them in grist-core to gate updates to any packaged version of Grist (the docker image currently).

Summary:
* Moves essential plugins to grist-core, so that basic imports (e.g. csv) work.
* Adds support for a `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR` flag that can systematically override how the data engine is run.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=pynbox` is "classic" nacl-based sandbox.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=docker` runs engines in individual docker containers. It requires an image specified in `sandbox/docker` (alternative images can be named with `GRIST_SANDBOX` flag - need to contain python and engine requirements). It is a simple reference implementation for sandboxing.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=unsandboxed` runs whatever local version of python is specified by a `GRIST_SANDBOX` flag directly, with no sandboxing. Engine requirements must be installed, so an absolute path to a python executable in a virtualenv is easiest to manage.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=gvisor` runs the data engine via gvisor's runsc. Experimental, with implementation not included in grist-core. Since gvisor runs on Linux only, this flavor supports wrapping the sandboxes in a single shared docker container.
* Tweaks some recent express query parameter code to work in grist-core, which has a slightly different version of express (smoke test doesn't catch this since in Jenkins core is built within a workspace that has node_modules, and wires get crossed - in a dev environment the problem on master can be seen by doing `buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/any_path_outside_grist`).
The new sandbox options do not have tests yet, nor does this they change the behavior of grist servers today. They are there to clean up and consolidate a collection of patches I've been using that were getting cumbersome, and make it easier to run experiments.
I haven't looked closely at imports beyond core.

This makes it possible to serve a table or tables only to owners.
* The _grist_ACLResources table is abused (temporarily) such that rows of the form `{colId: '~o', tableId}` are interpreted as meaning that `tableId` is private to owners.
* Many websocket and api endpoints are updated to preserve the privacy of these tables.
* In a document where some tables are private, a lot of capabilities are turned off for non-owners to avoid leaking info indirectly.
* The client is tweaked minimally, to show '-' where a page with some private material would otherwise go.
No attempt is made to protect data from private tables pulled into non-private tables via formulas.
There are some known leaks remaining:
* Changes to the schema of private tables are still broadcast to all clients (fixable).
* Non-owner may be able to access snapshots or make forks or use other corners of API (fixable).
* Changing name of table makes it public, since tableId in ACLResource is not updated (fixable).
