* add support for conversational state to assistance endpoint
This refactors the assistance code somewhat, to allow carrying
along some conversational state. It extends the OpenAI-flavored
assistant to make use of that state to have a conversation.
The front-end is tweaked a little bit to allow for replies that
don't have any code in them (though I didn't get into formatting
such replies nicely).
Currently tested primarily through the runCompletion script,
which has been extended a bit to allow testing simulated
conversations (where an error is pasted in follow-up, or
an expected-vs-actual comparison).

Summary:
for users who don't automatically have deep rights
to the document, provide them with attachment metadata only
for rows they have access to. This is a little tricky to
do efficiently. We provide attachment metadata when an
individual table is fetched, rather than on initial document
load, so we don't block that load on a full document scan.
We provide attachment metadata to a client when we see that
we are shipping rows mentioning particular attachments,
without making any effort to keep track of the metadata they
already have.

Attachments are a special case for granular access control. A user is now allowed to read a given attachment if they have read access to a cell containing its id. So when a user writes to a cell in an attachment column, it is important that they can only write the ids of cells to which they have access. This diff allows a user to add an attachment id in a cell if:
* The user already has access to that a attachment via some existing cell, or
* The user recently updated the attachment, or
* The attachment change is from an undo/redo of a previous action attributed to that user

This diff adds a new `BulkAddOrUpdateRecord` user action which is what is sounds like:
- A bulk version of the existing `AddOrUpdateRecord` action.
- Much more efficient for operating on many records than applying many individual actions.
- Column values are specified as maps from `colId` to arrays of values as usual.
- Produces bulk versions of `AddRecord` and `UpdateRecord` actions instead of many individual actions.
Examples of users wanting to use something like `AddOrUpdateRecord` with large numbers of records:

- https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1663069291726159
I tested what made many `AddOrUpdateRecord` actions slow in the first place. It was almost entirely due to producing many individual `AddRecord` user actions. About half of that time was for processing the resulting `AddRecord` doc actions. Lookups and updates were not a problem. With these changes, the slowness is gone.
The Python user action implementation is more complex but there are no surprises. The JS API now groups `records` based on the keys of `require` and `fields` so that `BulkAddOrUpdateRecord` can be applied to each group.

Summary:
Two summary table widgets that share a source table and have compatible groupby columns can be filter linked. This diff fixes a bug where this linking is broken when the source table is hidden by access rules. The source table data isn't needed for the linking, but its metadata is, and that metadata is censored by GranularAccess. To deal with this:
- `LinkConfig._assertValid` allows blank `tableId`s specifically for linking two summary tables.
- `LinkingState.filterColValues` gets the `colId`s of groupby columns from the summary table columns rather than the source table.
A closely related problem is that the titles of summary tables are incomplete when the source table is hidden, e.g. they just say `[by A]` instead of `Table1 [by A]`. To fix this, the raw view sections of source tables are 'uncensored' in GranularAccess.
Initially I also planned to uncensor the tableId of the source table, which seemed like a better and more general fix for the blank tableId problem. But several parts of client code use blank tableIds to know that a table should be hidden, so they were left as is.
Test Plan: Added an nbrowser test for summary table linking, and a server test for uncensoring the raw view section in GranularAccess.

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.

Adds a Python function `REQUEST` which makes an HTTP GET request. Behind the scenes it:
- Raises a special exception to stop trying to evaluate the current cell and just keep the existing value.
- Notes the request arguments which will be returned by `apply_user_actions`.
- Makes the actual request in NodeJS, which sends back the raw response data in a new action `RespondToRequests` which reevaluates the cell(s) that made the request.
- Wraps the response data in a class which mimics the `Response` class of the `requests` library.
In certain cases, this asynchronous flow doesn't work and the sandbox will instead synchronously call an exported JS method:
- When reevaluating a single cell to get a formula error, the request is made synchronously.
- When a formula makes multiple requests, the earlier responses are retrieved synchronously from files which store responses as long as needed to complete evaluating formulas. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/CL1LQ8AT0/p1653399747810139

This allows limiting the memory available to documents in the sandbox when gvisor is used. If memory limit is exceeded, we offer to open doc in recovery mode. Recovery mode is tweaked to open docs with tables in "ondemand" mode, which will generally take less memory and allow for deleting rows.
The limit is on the size of the virtual address space available to the sandbox (`RLIMIT_AS`), which in practice appears to function as one would want, and is the only practical option. There is a documented `RLIMIT_RSS` limit to `specifies the limit (in bytes) of the process's resident set (the number of virtual pages resident in RAM)` but this is no longer enforced by the kernel (neither the host nor gvisor).
When the sandbox runs out of memory, there are many ways it can fail. This diff catches all the ones I saw, but there could be more.

This ID makes it possible to write access rules and trigger formulas that allow different anonymous users to create, view, and edit their own records in a document.
For example, you could have a brain-storming document for puns, and allow anyone to add to it (without logging in), letting people edit their own records, but not showing the records to others until they are approved by a moderator. Without something like this, we could only let anonymous people add one field of a record, and not have a secure way to let them edit that field or others in the same record.

Pre-fork mode is where the user has opened a document with intent to
fork it, but actual forking (with allocation of a new document id)
is postponed until they make their first change.
The tweak makes the user an owner for granular access purposes, if
forking is permitted. So data visible only to owners because of
access rules will be visible to them. As always, any edits would
go to a separate new copy.
A remaining tricky corner is what to do about "View As" functionality
on forks. Fork sharing cannot be controlled, so the "Users -> View As"
functionality isn't available. Perhaps the "Users" button on a fork
