Summary:
During testing, and in some dev configurations, we make connections to
the Grist home database from multiple processes, and store it in Sqlite.
This is a situation prone to file locks in Sqlite. We set a busy_timeout
parameter to help, but transactions may still fail immediately. This
diff adds retries to our patch of TypeORM for Sqlite transactions
(which without the patch are already flakey for other reasons
https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/1884#issuecomment-380767213).
Without this change, I can tickly SQLITE_BUSY problems fairly
reliably with the DocApi tests. With this change, I can't so far.
This change should not affect deployments of our SaaS (which use
Postgres for home db) or grist-core/grist-ee (which access home
db from a single process in default configuration).
Test Plan: repeated running of DocApi tests

Fixes a bug introduced in https://phab.getgrist.com/D3416 which exposed a new type of linking option that didn't actually work. Specifically it allowed selecting by a summary table when the target widget has a reference column to the source table of the summary. This diff correctly implements this linking by linking the reference column against the 'group' column of the summary table, so the source table data (which the client may not have access to) isn't involved. But the 'group' column name is hidden from the 'select by' option label to avoid confusion for users, so it just looks like another kind of summary table linking, and indeed it can be thought of purely in terms of matching groupby columns etc.
Discussion here: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C02EGJ1FUCV/p1654039063055499
Also fixes a related old bug that offered similar meaningless options involving summary tables, like selecting the summary table by the source table or linking summary tables with disjoint groupby columns.

* Adds tsconfig-base-ext.json - that was the only intended change
* Unrelated: Forces all creation of connections to the home db through a new `getOrCreateConnection` method which changes the `busy_timeout` if using Sqlite. This was an attempt to fix random "database is locked" test failures. I believe multiple connections to the home db as an sqlite file do not happen in self-hosted Grist (where there is a single node process) or in our SaaS (where the database is in postgres). It does affect Grist started using `devServerMain.ts` (where multiple processes accessing same database are started) or various test configurations when extra database connections are opened.
* Unrelated: I added a `busy_timeout` for session storage, when it uses Sqlite. Again, I don't believe this affects self-hosted Grist or our SaaS.
* Tweaked a `BillingDiscount` test that looked perhaps vulnerable to a stripe request stalling.
I can't be sure my tweaks actually help, since I didn't succeed in replicating the failures. Update: looks like the "locked" error can still happen :(

This allows limiting the memory available to documents in the sandbox when gvisor is used. If memory limit is exceeded, we offer to open doc in recovery mode. Recovery mode is tweaked to open docs with tables in "ondemand" mode, which will generally take less memory and allow for deleting rows.
The limit is on the size of the virtual address space available to the sandbox (`RLIMIT_AS`), which in practice appears to function as one would want, and is the only practical option. There is a documented `RLIMIT_RSS` limit to `specifies the limit (in bytes) of the process's resident set (the number of virtual pages resident in RAM)` but this is no longer enforced by the kernel (neither the host nor gvisor).
When the sandbox runs out of memory, there are many ways it can fail. This diff catches all the ones I saw, but there could be more.

Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:
* Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
overlay of extra code if present.
* Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
and `stubs/app`.
* The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
* The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
`grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
license.
Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:
```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```
Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:
```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```
The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:
```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
-v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```
This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.
I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:
* Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
with grist-core as the monorepo has.
* Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
* Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
`--build-context` functionality made that possible).
* Compatibility with monorepo build.
Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.
This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.
