b4cc519616 (core) Ignore leading whitespace in formulas, and strip out leading '=' sign users might add
Summary:
This addresses two issues, differently:
- For a formula with leading whitespace, like " 1+1", it is stored as is, but
  is fixed to work (it should be valid Python, and whitespace is only stripped out
  at parsing time to avoid intentation errors caused by the way it gets parsed)
- For a formula with a leading equals-sign ("="), it is stripped out on the
  client side before the formula is stored. Grist documentation uses leading
  "=" to indicate formulas (because UI shows an "=" icon), and Excel formulas
  actually contain the leading "=", so it is a common mistake to include it.

Test Plan: Added new test cases

fb575a8b7e (core) Ensure formulas return something and don't assign to attributes of rec
Summary: To help with mistakes in formulas, forbid assigning to attributes of `rec` (e.g. `$foo = 1` which should probably be `==`) and ensure that there is at least one `return` in the formula (after maybe adding an implicit one at the end).

Test Plan: Extended Python unit test, updated tests which were missing return.
