9fffb491f9 (core) External requests
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

Test Plan: Added Python and nbrowser tests.

d0d3d3d0c9 (core) discount indirect changes for access control purposes
Summary:
This diff discounts indirect changes for access control purposes.  A UserAction that updates a cell A, which in turn causes changes in other dependent cells, will be considered a change to cell A for access control purposes.

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.

Subtleties:
 * Removal of references to a removed row are considered direct changes.
 * Doesn't play well with undos as yet.  An action that indirectly modifies a cell the user doesn't have rights to may succeed, but it will not be reversible.

Test Plan: added tests, updated tests

5ef889addd (core) move home server into core
Summary: This moves enough server material into core to run a home server.  The data engine is not yet incorporated (though in manual testing it works when ported).

Test Plan: existing tests pass
