This is iconsistent with how bar charts work and especially annoying

the linked table which causes colors (and display order) of each label

Summary:
This turns out necessary because ReferenceList columns are formatted
using the formatter of the associated visibleCol. This works correctly
in dedicated widgets, but in generic code (like SearchModel here), this
formatter needs to handle unexpected values (of type ReferenceList).
Without the fix, it produces JS errors when search reaches a
RefList:<Date> column.
A better fix would allow a formatter to know that it expects a ReferenceList,
AND to know how to format each value of it, but that's a bigger question
that's outside the scope of this fix.
Test Plan: Includes a browser test which reproduces the bug.

Two bugs fixed:
1. On search, when the first result is in the active record, GridView wasn't scrolling to the active record.
2. When an active record was not visible, GridView wasn't scrolling to the active record when the column index was changed.
The problem was that the scrolling behavior was based only on rowIndex which isn't changed (and doesn't notify subscribers) when a column index changes or when the search highlights a cell.
This diff makes the computed depend also on the fieldIndex, and is introducing a new method that can scroll to the active record on demand (which is used by the search).

- Adds a boolean option `parseStrings` to use `parseUserAction` in `ActiveDoc.applyUserActions`, off by default.
- Uses `parseStrings` by default in DocApi (set `?noparse=true` in a request to disable) when adding/updating records through the `/data` or `/records` endpoints or in general with the `/apply` endpoint.
- Uses `parseStrings` for various actions in `ActiveDocImport`. Since most types are parsed in Python before these actions are constructed, this only affects references, which still look like errors in the import preview. Importing references can also easily still run into more complicated problems discussed in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1639514844028200

Summary:
Reference/referencelist columns displaying date/datetime columns didn't show the formatting of that column, formatting them as ISO instead. One weird effect of this was that opening the editor suddenly changed the format because the editor formatted the dates correctly. You can see this in the checkin doc as an example.
This was discussed in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1636482208111800. Here's the main point:
> both use the visible column formatter's formatAny. the editor uses the value from the visible column, which for a date column is a raw timestamp number. the cell display uses the value from the display column which is of type Any so the value is wrapped in a list starting with 'd'. the former gets formatted according to the formatting options, but the latter just gets formatted as ISO.
Probably a good solution to the broader problem is to ensure that the display column has the same type and widget options as the visible column. That seems potentially messy, so I did something easier: fix `DateFormatter` to accept encoded date/datetime objects. It still receives the correct widget options from the visible column as before but can handle the values from the display column. This might also have other uses in the future.
Test Plan:
- Fixed several tests which previously expected the buggy behaviour.
- Converted ValueFormatter.js tests to typescript and cleaned up the existing code slightly.
- Added tests for DateFormatter and DateTimeFormatter to the ValueFormatter test suite, which only tested numbers before.

Summary:
Some things (like rendering cells) use the `visibleCol` for `createFormatter`, while other things (like `CopySelection`) used the `displayCol`. For references, the display column has type Any and doesn't know about the original formatting. This resulted in formatting being lost when copying from reference columns even though formatting was preserved when copying from the original (visible) column which looked identical. This diff fixes this and ensures that `createFormatter` is always used with the `visibleCol`. This was agreed on in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1639571321043000
Additionally:
- Replaces the functions `createVisibleColFormatter` computed properties `visibleColFormatter` as suggested by a `TODO`.
- Extracts common code from `createVisibleColFormatter` in `ColumnRec` and `ViewFieldRec`
Test Plan: Fixed a test in CopyPaste which displayed the previous inconsistent behaviour.

- Double-evaluation of trigger formulas in some cases.
Fixes include:
- Fixed verification that summary group-by columns match the underlying ones,

- Avoid updating non-metadata lookups after each doc-action (early lookups
generated extra actions to populate summary tables, causing the 'ModifyColumn

- When updating formulas, do update lookups first.
- Made a client-side tweak to avoid a JS error in case of some undos.
Solution to reduce lookups is based on https://phab.getgrist.com/D3069?vs=on&id=12445,

* Make org resets work in absence of billing endpoints
* When in-memory session caches are used, add missing invalidation steps

* For CORS, explicitly trust GRIST_HOST origin when set
* Move some fixtures and tests to core, focussing on tests that cover existing failures or are in the set of tests run on deployments
* Retain regular `test` target to run the test suite directly, without docker
* Add a `test:smoke` target to run a single simple test without `GRIST_TEST_LOGIN` activated
* Add a `test:docker` target to run the tests against a grist-core docker image - since tests rely on certain fixture teams/docs, added `TEST_SUPPORT_API_KEY` and `TEST_ADD_SAMPLES` flags to ease porting
The tests ported were `nbrowser` tests: `ActionLog.ts` (the first test I tend to port to anything, out of habit), `Fork.ts` (exercises a lot of doc creation paths), `HomeIntro.ts` (a lot of DocMenu exercise), and `DuplicateDocument.ts` (covers a feature known to be failing prior to this diff, the CORS tweak resolves it).
Test Plan: Manually tested via `buildtools/build_core.sh`. In follow up, I want to add running the `test:docker` target in grist-core's workflows. In jenkins, only the smoke test is run. There'd be an argument for running all tests, but they include particularly slow tests, and are duplicates of tests already run (in different configuration admittedly), so I'd like to try first just using them in grist-core to gate updates to any packaged version of Grist (the docker image currently).

Summary:
Backstory: to make examples easier to play with, we:
* Add a special FullCopies permission to let anyone fork/copy them regardless of other access rules
* Open the examples in "prefork" mode by default
That means a random person can open an example and already feel like an owner of it. Getting to this point requires some gymnastics on the back end. As soon as the person makes any change to the document they become truly the owner (of their fork), and life is simple for the back end.
But, if that person does "View As" to look at the preforked document, that is a step too far for the back end - a user, with a special somewhat complicated exception allowing them to act as an owner for some purposes, now wants to pretend to be another user. The logic for this on the back end was doable, but looked hard to review and be confident of, with now three identities with subtle nuances in their interrelationship.
So with this diff, if a non-owner attempts to "View As" another user on a prefork, the client will just fork the document first. This is in principle not necessary, but is much simpler from a security perspective.
