b8486dcdba (core) Nice summary table IDs
Summary:
Changes auto-generated summary table IDs from e.g. `GristSummary_6_Table1` to `Table1_summary_A_B` (meaning `Table1` grouped by `A` and `B`). This makes it easier to write formulas involving summary tables, make API requests, understand logs, etc.

Because these don't encode the source table ID as reliably as before, `decode_summary_table_name` now uses the summary table schema info, not just the summary table ID. Specifically, it looks at the type of the `group` column, which is `RefList:<source table id>`.

Renaming a source table renames the summary table as before, and now renaming a groupby column renames the summary table as well.

Conflicting table names are resolved in the usual way by adding a number at the end, e.g. `Table1_summary_A_B2`. These summary tables are not automatically renamed when the disambiguation is no longer needed.

A new migration renames all summary tables to the new scheme, and updates formulas using summary tables with a simple regex.

Test Plan:
Updated many tests to use the new style of name.

Added new Python tests to for resolving conflicts when renaming source tables and groupby columns.

Added a test for the migration, including renames in formulas.

f024aaaf5d (core) Fix some bugs with ChoiceList in summary tables, and evaluation of lookups.
Summary:
Addresses several issues:
- Error 'Cannot modify summary group-by column' when changing Text ->
  ChoiceList in the presence of summary tables.
- Error 'ModifyColumn in unexpected position' when changing ChoiceList -> Text
  in the presence of summary tables.
- Double-evaluation of trigger formulas in some cases.

Fixes include:
- Fixed verification that summary group-by columns match the underlying ones,
  and added comments to explain.
- Avoid updating non-metadata lookups after each doc-action (early lookups
  generated extra actions to populate summary tables, causing the 'ModifyColumn
  in unexpected position' bug)
- When updating formulas, do update lookups first.
- Made a client-side tweak to avoid a JS error in case of some undos.

Solution to reduce lookups is based on https://phab.getgrist.com/D3069?vs=on&id=12445,
and tests for double-evaluation of trigger formulas are taken from there.

Add a new test case to protect against bugs caused by incorrect order of
evaluating #lookup columns.

Enhanced ChoiceList browser test to check a conversion scenario in the presence
of summary tables, previously triggering bugs.

Test Plan: Various tests added or enhanced.
