Summary:
This removes checking for full access in `onRecord/onRecords` when `includeColumns` is a non-default value. The check had two problems:
1. It relied on the access level being present in the URL query parameters, which doesn't work if the page has redirected. See the discussion in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1702576602615509. There seems to be no way to reliably and synchronously check the access level.
2. Calling `onRecords` before `ready` and forgetting to handle an error from the access check meant that `ready` wouldn't be called, so Grist couldn't request the correct access level from the user. I made this mistake and it seems like a nasty footgun.
Ultimately this has no effect on security, as an error will still be raised, but in a place where the widget developer can't catch it. They'll still see an error message in the console, and they can still check the access level reliably using `onOptions`, so I think this is OK.

Summary:
Adds a new interface `FetchSelectedOptions` with three keys (including the preexisting `keepEncoded`) and adds/updates an optional `options: FetchSelectedOptions` to six related functions which fetch data from the selected table or record. The `keepEncoded` and `format` options have different default values for different methods for backwards compatibility, but otherwise the different methods now have much more similar behaviour. The new `includeColumns` option allows fetching all columns which was previously only possible using `docApi.fetchTable` (which wasn't always a great alternative) but this requires full access to avoid exposing more data than before and violating user expectations.
Eventually, similar options should be added to `docApi.fetchTable` to make the API even more consistent.
Discussion: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1696510548994899
Test Plan: Added a new nbrowser test with a corresponding fixture site and document, showing how the functions have different default option values but are all configurable now.

Summary:
With this, a custom widget can render an attachment by doing:
```
const tokenInfo = await grist.docApi.getAccessToken({readOnly: true});
const img = document.getElementById('the_image');
const id = record.C[0]; // get an id of an attachment
const src = `${tokenInfo.baseUrl}/attachments/${id}/download?auth=${tokenInfo.token}`;
img.setAttribute('src', src)
```
The access token expires after a few mins, so if a user right-clicks on an image
to save it, they may get access denied unless they refresh the page. A little awkward,
but s3 pre-authorized links behave similarly and it generally isn't a deal-breaker.

- Use consistent spacing around braces of code blocks.
- Use semicolons consistently at the ends of statements.

Summary:
This simplifies writing custom widgets that access selected
data. To access the record at which the cursor is set, and
get any future changes to it as the cursor moves or data
changes, it suffices now to do:
```
grist.ready();
grist.onRecord(record => /* render */);
```
Similarly to access the set of selected records, and get any
changes, it suffices now to do:
```
grist.ready();
grist.onRecords(records => /* render */);
```
The `records` argument will be a list of objects, each of which
is a single record. This is distinct from the column-based
representation favored in Grist up ontil now. That remains
how methods like `fetchTable` or `fetchSelectedTable` represent
their results. In the future, methods named like `fetchRecords`
or `fetchSelectedRecords` could be added that return lists.
