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:
- Upgrades to build-related packages:
- Upgrade typescript, related libraries and typings.
- Upgrade webpack, eslint; add tsc-watch, node-dev, eslint_d.
- Build organization changes:
- Build webpack from original typescript, transpiling only; with errors still
reported by a background tsc watching process.
- Typescript-related changes:
- Reduce imports of AWS dependencies (very noticeable speedup)
- Avoid auto-loading global @types
- Client code is now built with isolatedModules flag (for safe transpilation)
- Use allowJs to avoid copying JS files manually.
- Linting changes
- Enhance Arcanist ESLintLinter to run before/after commands, and set up to use eslint_d
- Update eslint config, and include .eslintignore to avoid linting generated files.
- Include a bunch of eslint-prompted and eslint-generated fixes
- Add no-unused-expression rule to eslint, and fix a few warnings about it
- Other items:
- Refactor cssInput to avoid circular dependency
- Remove a bit of unused code, libraries, dependencies
Test Plan: No behavior changes, all existing tests pass. There are 30 tests fewer reported because `test_gpath.py` was removed (it's been unused for years)

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.

Summary:
If PYTHON_VERSION_ON_CREATION is set in the environment, new documents will be created with a specific desired python version (2 or 3).
This diff commits to offering a choice of engine, so the engine for a document no longer starts to initialize until the document has been fetched and read. Staging (and dev, and testing) has been like this for a while.
Test Plan: added test; manual testing of forks/copies etc

Summary:
This marks the engine setting in document settings as experimental,
with a skull and cross-bones.
It also makes sure the setting is shown if PYTHON_VERSION_ON_CREATION
is set (this relates to a separate change to set the default python
version to 3).

Summary:
- Sharing, Client, DocClients, HostingStorageManager all include available info.
- In HostingStorageManager, log numSteps and maxStepTimeMs, in case that helps
debug SQLITE_BUSY problem.
- Replace some action-bundle logging with a JSON version aggregating some info.
- Skip logging detailed list of actions in production.
Test Plan: Tested manually by eyeballing log output in dev environment.

Summary: This adds a dropdown to the document settings model in staging/dev to set the python engine to Python2 or Python3. The setting is saved in `_grist_DocInfo.documentSettings.engine`.

Summary:
This applies some mitigations suggested by SQLite authors when
opening untrusted SQLite databases, as we do when Grist docs
are uploaded by the user. See:
https://www.sqlite.org/security.html#untrusted_sqlite_database_files
Steps implemented in this diff are:
* Setting `trusted_schema` to off
* Running a SQLite-level integrity check on uploads
Other steps will require updates to our node-sqlite3 fork, since they
are not available via the node-sqlite3 api (one more reason to migrate
to better-sqlite3).
I haven't yet managed to create a file that triggers an integrity
check failure without also being detected as corruption by sqlite
at a more basic level, so that is a TODO for testing.
Test Plan:
existing tests pass; need to come up with exploits to
actually test the defences and have not yet

Summary:
We used tslint earlier, and on switching to eslint, some rules were not
transfered. This moves more rules over, for consistent conventions or helpful
warnings.
- Name private members with a leading underscore.
- Prefer interface over a type alias.
- Use consistent spacing around ':' in type annotations.
- Use consistent spacing around braces of code blocks.
- Use semicolons consistently at the ends of statements.
- Use braces around even one-liner blocks, like conditionals and loops.
- Warn about shadowed variables.
Test Plan: Fixed all new warnings. Should be no behavior changes in code.
