3055a11fb2 (core) set cookie response header more consistently
Summary:
The express-session middleware, in its regular configuration, will
only set a cookie response header at the beginninng of a session or
when the session contents have changed. It won't set the header if
only the expiration time is changed. This diff uses a dummy `alive`
field to nudge the middleware into setting the header consistently.

Test Plan: tested manually

1517dca644 (core) Implement DiscourseConnect to enable easy sign-in to community forum
Summary:
- Update cookie module, to support modern sameSite settings
- Add a new cookie, grist_sid_status with less-sensitive value, to let less-trusted subdomains know if user is signed in
- The new cookie is kept in-sync with the session cookie.
- For a user signed in once, allow auto-signin is appropriate.
- For a user signed in with multiple accounts, show a page to select which account to use.
- Move css stylings for rendering users to a separate module.

Test Plan: Added a test case with a simulated Discourse page to test redirects and account-selection page.

54beaede84 (core) revive saml support and test against Auth0
Summary:
SAML support had broken due to SameSite changes in browsers. This
makes it work again, and tests it against Auth0 (now owned by Okta).

Logging in and out works.  The logged out state is confusing, and may
not be complete.  The "Add Account" menu item doesn't work.
But with this, an important part of self-hosting becomes easier.

SAML support works also in grist-core, for site pages, but there
is a glitch on document pages that I'll look into separately.

869b2f00ec (core) Remove LoginSession, which was mainly serving situations that are no longer used.
Summary:
In the past, Cognito sign-ins were intended to give authorization to some AWS
services (like SQS); various tokens were stored in the session for this
purpose. This is no longer used. Profiles from Cognito now serve a limited
purpose: first-time initialization of name and picture, and keeping track of
which login method was used. For these remaining needs, ScopedSession is
sufficient.

Test Plan:
Existing test pass. Tested manually that logins work with Google and
Email + Password. Tested manually that on a clean database, name and picture
are picked up from a Google Login.

e5c24eb5ea (core) revamp user attribute handling
Summary:
This changes how user attributes are loaded.  They are now loaded
directly from sqlite, with per-session caching.  Optimizations
considered but not addressed yet are (1) adding indexes to user attribute
tables and (2) swapping in a thinner sqlite wrapper.

The main benefit of this diff is that changes to user attribute
tables now work.  Clients whose user attributes are not changed
see no effect; clients whose user attributes have changed have
their document reloaded.

For the purposes of testing, the diff includes a tweak to
GristWSConnection to be "sticky" to a specific user when reloading
(and support machinery on the server side to honor that).  Until
now, if a GristWSConnection reloads, it uses whatever the current
default user is in the cookie-based session, which can change.
This was complicating a test where multiple users were accessing
the same document via different clients with occasional document
reloads.

Code for updating when schema or rule changes happen is moved
around but not improved in any meaningful way in this diff.

Test Plan: existing tests pass; extended test

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).
