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.

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

> Problem: user creates fresh new empty column. Users with access to write to that column, but not modify schema, will not in fact be able to write into it (since on first data entry column type needs to change). Experience is confusing.
Refactored `enter_indirection` and `leave_indirection` to a single context manager method for use with `with` instead of `try/finally`.

Summary:
Adds a `data-grist-col-ref` attribute to the copied HTML, then uses that when pasting to look up the source column and retrieve info about it. Copies the info into the target column if:
- The document is the same (the docId hash matches)
- The source column still exists and has the same type as when copied
- The source type isn't Text, because in that case it's nice if type guessing still happens
- The target column is empty, meaning it has type Any (we check earlier that it's not a formula column)
The info copied is the type, widgetOptions, and reference column settings (visible and display columns) but not conditional formatting.
The changes are mostly in a function `parsePasteForView` which is based on `BaseView._parsePasteForView` but ported to TypeScript in a new file `BaseView2.ts`.

This unsets the `direct` flag for actions emitted when summary tables are updated. That means those actions will be ignored for access control purposes. So if a user has the right to change a source table, the resulting changes to the summary won't result in the overall action bundle being forbidden.
I don't think I've actually seen the use case that inspired this issue being filed. I could imagine perhaps a user forbidden from creating rows globally making permitted updates that could add rows in a summary (and it being desirable to allow that).

Additional merge strategies are implemented in the data

- Column metadata now includes recalcWhen and recalcDeps fields.

- When recalcWhen is "allupdates", formula is calculated for new records and
any manual (non-formula) updates to the record.
- When recalcWhen is "", formula is calculated for new records, and changes to
recalcDeps fields (which may be formula fields or column itself).
- A column whose recalcDeps includes itself is a "data-cleaning" column; a
value set by the user will still trigger the formula.
- All trigger-formulas receive a "value" argument (to support the case above).

The `engine.apply_user_actions` method now returns a `direct` array, with a boolean for each `stored` action, set to `true` if the action is attributed to the user or `false` if it is attributed to the engine. `GranularAccess` ignores actions attributed to the engine when checking for edit rights.

* Removal of references to a removed row are considered direct changes.
