* Replace `ormconfig.js` with a newer mechanism of configuring
TypeORM that can be included in the source code properly.
The path to `ormconfig.js` has always been awkward to handle,
and eliminating the file makes building different Grist setups
a bit simpler.
* Remove `electron` package. It is barely used, just for some old
remnants of an older attempt at electron packaging. It was used
for two types, which I left at `any` for now. More code pruning is
no doubt possible here, but I'd rather do it when Electron packaging
has solidified.
* Add a hook for replacing the login system, and for adding some
extra middleware the login system may need.
* Add support for some more possible locations of Python, which
arise when a standalone version of it is included in the Electron
package. This isn't very general purpose, just configurations
that I found useful.
* Support using grist-core within a yarn workspace - the only tweak
needed was webpack related.
* Allow an external ID to be optionally associated with documents.

This uses a version of @gristlabs/sqlite3 which has prebuilt binaries for
lots of platforms (falling back to compilation if needed).

There was no script for updating typescript schema information after
a python-based document migration. Moving one in here, along with its
test. Tweaked the code slightly to work with grist-core's directory
structure. Also fixed a formatting error in mocha calls that was resulting
in some root tests not running.
Summary:
This is a first pass at snapshot support using the MinIO client, suitable
for use against a MinIO server or other S3-compatible storage (including
the original AWS S3).
In Grist Labs monorepo tests, it is run against AWS S3. It can be manually
configured to run again a MinIO server, and these tests pass. There are no
core tests just yet.
Next step would be to move external storage tests to core, and configure
workflow to run tests against a transient MinIO server.
Test Plan: applied same tests as for Azure and S3 (via AWS client)

Summary:
upgrade typeorm version, so Grist can run against newer versions of postgres.
Dusted off some old benchmarking code to verify that important queries don't get slower. They don't appear to, unlike for some intermediate versions of typeorm I tried in the past.
Most of the changes are because `findOne` changed how it interprets its arguments, and the value it returns when nothing is found. For the return value, I stuck with limiting its impact by emulating old behavior (returning undefined rather than null) rather than propagating the change out to parts of the code unrelated to the database.

With this, a custom widget can render an attachment by doing:
```
const tokenInfo = await grist.docApi.getAccessToken({readOnly: true});
const img = document.getElementById('the_image');
const id = record.C[0]; // get an id of an attachment
const src = `${tokenInfo.baseUrl}/attachments/${id}/download?auth=${tokenInfo.token}`;
img.setAttribute('src', src)
```
The access token expires after a few mins, so if a user right-clicks on an image
to save it, they may get access denied unless they refresh the page. A little awkward,
but s3 pre-authorized links behave similarly and it generally isn't a deal-breaker.

Summary:
This adds rudimentary support for opening certain SQLite files in Grist.
If you have a file such as `landing.db` in Grist, you can convert it to Grist format by doing (either in monorepo or grist-core):
```
yarn run cli -h
yarn run cli sqlite -h
yarn run cli sqlite gristify landing.db
```
The file is now openable by Grist. To actually do so with the regular Grist server, you'll need to either import it, or convert some doc you don't care about in the `samples/` directory to be a soft link to it (and then force a reload).
This implementation is a rudimentary experiment. Here are some awkwardnesses:
* Only tables that happen to have a column called `id`, and where the column happens to be an integer, can be opened directly with Grist as it is today. That could be generalized, but it looked more than a Gristathon's worth of work, so I instead used SQLite views.
* Grist will handle tables that start with an uncapitalized letter a bit erratically. You can successfully add columns, for example, but removing them will cause sadness - Grist will rename the table in a confused way.
* I didn't attempt to deal with column names with spaces etc (though views could deal with those).
* I haven't tried to do any fancy type mapping.
* Columns with constraints can make adding new rows impossible in Grist, since Grist requires that a row can be added with just a single cell set.

Summary:
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

Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:
* Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
overlay of extra code if present.
* Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
and `stubs/app`.
* The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
* The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
`grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
license.
Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:
```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```
Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:
```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```
The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:
```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
-v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```
This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.
I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:
* Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
with grist-core as the monorepo has.
* Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
* Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
`--build-context` functionality made that possible).
* Compatibility with monorepo build.
Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.
This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.
