ec8ab598cb (core) add a yarn run cli tool, and add a sqlite gristify option
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.

Test Plan: added small test

f2f4fe0eca (core) Add LogMethods helper and use it for more JSON data in logs. Reduce unhelpful logging.
Summary:
- Sharing, Client, DocClients, HostingStorageManager all include available info.
- In HostingStorageManager, log numSteps and maxStepTimeMs, in case that helps
  debug SQLITE_BUSY problem.
- Replace some action-bundle logging with a JSON version aggregating some info.
- Skip logging detailed list of actions in production.

Test Plan: Tested manually by eyeballing log output in dev environment.

07558dceba (core) avoid censorship for one client clobbering data for another client
Summary:
When filtering document updates to send to clients after a change,
censorship of individual cells was being applied to state shared
across the clients. This diff eliminates that shared state, and
extends testing of broadcasts to check different orderings.

Test Plan:
extends a test to tickle a reported bug, and gives
DocClients a knob to control message order needed to tickle
the bug reliably.

4ab096d179 (core) granular access control in the presence of schema changes
Summary:
 - Support schema changes in the presence of non-trivial ACL rules.
 - Fix update of `aclFormulaParsed` when updating formulas automatically after schema change.
 - Filter private metadata in broadcasts, not just fetches.  Censorship method is unchanged, just refactored.
 - Allow only owners to change ACL rules.
 - Force reloads if rules are changed.
 - Track rule changes within bundle, for clarity during schema changes - tableId and colId changes create a muddle otherwise.
 - Show or forbid pages dynamically depending on user's access to its sections. Logic unchanged, just no longer requires reload.
 - Fix calculation of pre-existing rows touched by a bundle, in the presence of schema changes.
 - Gray out acl page for non-owners.

0e2deecc55 (core) implement cleaner row-level access control for outgoing messages
Summary:
This implements row-level access control for outgoing messages, replacing the document reloading placeholder that was there before.

 * Prior to broadcasting messages, GranularAccess is notified of actions+undo.
 * While broadcasting messages to different sessions, if we find we need row level access control information, rows before and after the change are reconstructed.
 * Messages are rewritten if rows that were previously forbidden are now allowed, and vice versa.

The diff is somewhat under-tested and under-optimized. Next step would be to implement row-level access control for incoming actions, which may result in some rejiggering of the code from this diff to avoid duplication of effort under some conditions.

a4929bde72 (core) add some row-level access control
Summary:
This implements a form of row-level access control where for a
given table, you may specify that only owners have access to
rows for which a given column has falsy values.

For simplicity:
 * Only owners may edit that table.
 * Non-owners with the document open will have forced
   reloads whenever the table is modified.

Baby steps...

45d2d5f897 (core) back-end support for tables that are accessible only by owners
Summary:
This makes it possible to serve a table or tables only to owners.

 * The _grist_ACLResources table is abused (temporarily) such that rows of the form `{colId: '~o', tableId}` are interpreted as meaning that `tableId` is private to owners.
 * Many websocket and api endpoints are updated to preserve the privacy of these tables.
 * In a document where some tables are private, a lot of capabilities are turned off for non-owners to avoid leaking info indirectly.
 * The client is tweaked minimally, to show '-' where a page with some private material would otherwise go.

No attempt is made to protect data from private tables pulled into non-private tables via formulas.

There are some known leaks remaining:
 * Changes to the schema of private tables are still broadcast to all clients (fixable).
 * Non-owner may be able to access snapshots or make forks or use other corners of API (fixable).
 * Changing name of table makes it public, since tableId in ACLResource is not updated (fixable).

Security will require some work, the attack surface is large.

526fda4eba (core) make user role available in ActiveDoc methods
Summary: This makes the user's role (owner/editor/viewer) available in ActiveDoc methods. No use of that information is made yet, other than to log it.  The bulk of the diff is getting a handle on the various ways the methods can be called, and systematizing it a bit more.  In passing, access control is added to broadcasts of document changes, so users who no longer have access to a document do not receive changes if they still have the document open.

Test Plan: existing tests pass; test for broadcast access control added
