Summary:
- Change RECORD's dates_as_str default to False.
- Reimplement objtype encode_object/decode_object with less machinery.
- Implement encoding of dicts (with string keys).
- Make lists and dicts encode values recursively.
- Implement encoding/decoding in the client
- Decode automatically in plugins' fetchSelectedTable/Record, with an option to skip.
Test Plan: Tested manually, not sure what tests may be affected yet.

Summary:
This simplifies writing custom widgets that access selected
data. To access the record at which the cursor is set, and
get any future changes to it as the cursor moves or data
changes, it suffices now to do:
```
grist.ready();
grist.onRecord(record => /* render */);
```
Similarly to access the set of selected records, and get any
changes, it suffices now to do:
```
grist.ready();
grist.onRecords(records => /* render */);
```
The `records` argument will be a list of objects, each of which
is a single record. This is distinct from the column-based
representation favored in Grist up ontil now. That remains
how methods like `fetchTable` or `fetchSelectedTable` represent
their results. In the future, methods named like `fetchRecords`
or `fetchSelectedRecords` could be added that return lists.
Test Plan: extended tests
