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:
- Substantial refactoring of the logic when the server fails to send some
messages to a client.
- Add seqId numbers to server messages to ensure reliable order.
- Add a needReload flag in clientConnect for a clear indication whent the
browser client needs to reload the app.
- Reproduce some potential failure scenarios in a test case (some of which
previously could have led to incorrectly ordered messages).
- Convert other Comm tests to typescript.
- Tweak logging of Comm and Client to be slightly more concise (in particular,
avoid logging sessionId)
Note that despite the big refactoring, this only addresses a fairly rare
situation, with websocket failures while server is trying to send to the
client. It includes no improvements for failures while the client is sending to
the server.
(I looked for an existing library that would take care of these issues. A relevant article I found is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-web-pubsub/howto-develop-reliable-clients, but it doesn't include a library for both ends, and is still in review. Other libraries with similar purposes did not inspire enough confidence.)
Test Plan: New test cases, which reproduce some previously problematic scenarios.

This avoids an extra database query to look up the user's current

Summary:
This makes a `user.SessionID` value available in information about the user, for use with trigger formulas and granular access rules. The ID should be constant within a browser session for anonymous user. For logged in users it simply reflects their user id.
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.
Also adds a `user.IsLoggedIn` flag in passing.
Test Plan: Added a test, updated tests. The test added is a mini-moderation doc, don't use it for real because it allows users to edit their entries after a moderator has approved them.

Summary:
In the past, Cognito sign-ins were intended to give authorization to some AWS
services (like SQS); various tokens were stored in the session for this
purpose. This is no longer used. Profiles from Cognito now serve a limited
purpose: first-time initialization of name and picture, and keeping track of
which login method was used. For these remaining needs, ScopedSession is
sufficient.
Test Plan:
Existing test pass. Tested manually that logins work with Google and
Email + Password. Tested manually that on a clean database, name and picture
are picked up from a Google Login.

Summary:
With this change, if a comment is added to an ACL formula, then that comment will be offered to the user if access is denied and that rule could potentially have granted access.
The code is factored so that when access is permitted, or when partially visible tables are being filtered, there is little overhead. Comments are gathered only when an explicit denial of access.
Test Plan: added tests, updated tests

Summary:
This allows a fork to be made by a user if:
* That user is an owner of the document being forked, or
* That user has full read access to the document being forked.
The bulk of the diff is reorganization of how forking is done. ActiveDoc.fork is now responsible for creating a fork, not just a docId/urlId for the fork. Since fork creation should not be limited to the doc worker hosting the trunk, a helper endpoint is added for placing the fork.
The change required sanitizing worker allocation a bit, and allowed session knowledge to be removed from HostedStorageManager.
Test Plan: Added test; existing tests pass.
