b3b7410ede (core) open documents without blocking on data engine
Summary:
With this diff, when a user opens a Grist document in a browser, they will be able to view its contents without waiting for the data engine to start up. Once the data engine starts, it will run a calculation and send any updates made. Changes to the document will be blocked until the engine is started and the initial calculation is complete.

The increase in responsiveness is useful in its own right, and also reduces the impact of an extra startup time in a candidate next-generation sandbox.

A small unrelated fix is included for `core/package.json`, to catch up with a recent change to `package.json`.

A small `./build schema` convenience is added to just rebuild the typescript schema file.

Test Plan: added test; existing tests pass - small fixes needed in some cases because of new timing

aec360498c (core) Allow adding a single link at the bottom of a document tour card
Summary:
Checks for new special columns in GristDocTour: Link_Text, Link_URL, and Link_Icon.

No link is generated if Link_Text is blank or Link_URL cannot be parsed as a URL.

No icon is shown if Link_Icon is not the name of an icon in IconList.ts

Test Plan: Expanded tests, but they now assert things about HTML which may be brittle

15f1ef96fa (core) Allow creating custom document tours with a special table
Summary:
Like the welcome tour, a special URL hash triggers startDocTour which uses data from a table GristDocTour to construct the appropriate popups.

This is the basic version described in https://grist.quip.com/sN2RAHI2dchm/Document-tours

Test Plan:
Added a new nbrowser test which tests the data produced by makeDocTour. The general behaviour of the UI and popups has hardly changed so existing tests cover that well enough.

The new test uses a new fixture document which you can open to easily experience the tour.

Error cases where there's no valid document tour are not tested because that behaviour is likely to change significantly and this feature is still quite 'private'.
