Summary:
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.

Summary: This is https://phab.getgrist.com/D3205 plus some changes (https://github.com/dsagal/grist/compare/type-convert...type-convert-server?expand=1) that move the conversion process to the backend. A new user action ConvertFromColumn uses `call_external` so that the data engine can delegate back to ActiveDoc. Code for creating formatters and parsers is significantly refactored so that most of the logic is in `common` and can be used in different ways.
Test Plan: The original diff adds plenty of tests.

Summary:
This verifies that all existing tests are capable of running under python3/gvisor, and fixes the small issues that came up. It does not yet activate python3 tests on all diffs, only diffs that specifically request them.
* Adds a suffix in test names and output directories for tests run with PYTHON_VERSION=3, so that results of the same test run with and without the flag can be aggregated cleanly.
* Adds support for checkpointing to the gvisor sandbox adapter.
* Prepares a checkpoint made after grist python code has loaded in the gvisor sandbox.
* Changes how `DOC_URL` is passed to the sandbox, since it can no longer be passed in as an environment variable when using checkpoints.
* Uses the checkpoint to speed up tests using the gvisor sandbox, otherwise a lot of tests need more time (especially on mac under docker).
* Directs jenkins to run all tests with python2 and python3 when a new file `buildtools/changelogs/python.txt` is touched (this diff counts as touching that file).
* Tweaks miscellaneous tests
- some needed fixes exposed by slightly different timing
- a small number actually give different results in py3 (removal of `u` prefixes).
- some needed a little more time
The DOC_URL change is not the ultimate solution we want for DOC_URL. Eventually it should be a variable that gets updated, like the date perhaps. This is just a small pragmatic change to preserve existing behavior.
Tests are run mindlessly as py3, and for some tests it won't change anything (e.g. if they do not use NSandbox). Tests are not run in parallel, doubling overall test time.
Checkpoints could be useful in deployment, though this diff doesn't use them there.
The application of checkpoints doesn't check for other configuration like 3-versus-5-pipe that we don't actually use.
Python2 tests run using pynbox as always for now.
The diff got sufficiently bulky that I didn't tackle running py3 on "regular" diffs in it. My preference, given that most tests don't appear to stress the python side of things, would be to make a selection of the tests that do and a few wild cards, and run those tests on both pythons rather then all of them. For diffs making a significant python change, I'd propose touching buildtools/changelogs/python.txt for full tests. But this is a conversation in progress.
A total of 6886 tests ran on this diff.
Test Plan: this is a step in preparing tests for py3 transition

Summary:
This adds `runsc` and `python3` to the grist-server images. For deployments with GRIST_EXPERIMENTAL_PLUGINS=1 (dev + staging but not prod) a hack is added to use `python3` under `runsc` for documents with a special title (`activate-python3-magic` or similar).
This will simplify experiments on behavior of this configuration under realistic conditions.
Hopefully, before landing this, I'll be able to switch to storing a python flag in a document options cell being added by @georgegevoian in a parallel diff, since using the doc title is super hacky :-).

Summary:
* Adds a `SELF_HYPERLINK()` python function, with optional keyword arguments to set a label, the page, and link parameters.
* Adds a `UUID()` python function, since using python's uuid.uuidv4 hits a problem accessing /dev/urandom in the sandbox. UUID makes no particular quality claims since it doesn't use an audited implementation. A difficult to guess code is convenient for some use cases that `SELF_HYPERLINK()` enables.
The canonical URL for a document is mutable, but older versions generally forward. So for implementation simplicity the document url is passed it on sandbox creation and remains fixed throughout the lifetime of the sandbox. This could and should be improved in future.
The URL is passed into the sandbox as a `DOC_URL` environment variable.
The code for creating the URL is factored out of `Notifier.ts`. Since the url is a function of the organization as well as the document, some rejiggering is needed to make that information available to DocManager.
On document imports, the new document is registered in the database slightly earlier now, in order to keep the procedure for constructing the URL in different starting conditions more homogeneous.

Summary: This moves enough server material into core to run a home server. The data engine is not yet incorporated (though in manual testing it works when ported).
