Summary:
Building:
- Builds no longer wait for tsc for either client, server, or test targets. All use esbuild which is very fast.
- Build still runs tsc, but only to report errors. This may be turned off with `SKIP_TSC=1` env var.
- Grist-core continues to build using tsc.
- Esbuild requires ES6 module semantics. Typescript's esModuleInterop is turned
on, so that tsc accepts and enforces correct usage.
- Client-side code is watched and bundled by webpack as before (using esbuild-loader)
Code changes:
- Imports must now follow ES6 semantics: `import * as X from ...` produces a
module object; to import functions or class instances, use `import X from ...`.
- Everything is now built with isolatedModules flag. Some exports were updated for it.
Packages:
- Upgraded browserify dependency, and related packages (used for the distribution-building step).
- Building the distribution now uses esbuild's minification. babel-minify is no longer used.
Test Plan: Should have no behavior changes, existing tests should pass, and docker image should build too.

Summary:
A new way for renaming tables.
- There is a new popup to rename section (where you can also rename the table)
- Renaming/Deleting page doesn't modify/delete the table.
- Renaming table can rename a page if the names match (and the page contains a section with that table).
- User can rename table in Raw Data UI in two ways - either on the listing or by using the section name popup
- As before, there is no way to change tableId - it is derived from a table name.
- When the section name is empty the table name is shown instead.
- White space for section name is allowed (to discuss) - so the user can just paste ' '.
- Empty name for a page is not allowed (but white space is).
- Some bugs related to deleting tables with attached summary tables (and with undoing this operation) were fixed (but not all of them yet).
Test Plan: Updated tests.

Summary:
Adding conditional formatting rules feature.
Each column can have multiple styling rules which are applied in order
when evaluated to a truthy value.
- The creator panel has a new section: Cell Style
- New user action AddEmptyRule for adding an empty rule
- New columns in _grist_Table_columns and fields
A new color picker will be introduced in a follow-up diff (as it is also
used in choice/choice list/filters).

Summary:
- Added a new special page for viewing raw data widgets:
- Implemented in DataTables.ts
- Accessible only via the special URL path `/p/data`
- Future diffs should make this page prettier and easily accessible
- Shows a list of user tables
- Clicking on a table name shows its `rawViewSection` by setting `GristDoc.viewModel.activeSectionId`. Note that in this case `GristDoc.viewModel` is an empty record, so this is a bit of a hack, but it works well and causes no known issues.
- Added `ViewSectionRec.isRaw` to know if the record represents a raw data widget.
- Added various restrictions in the UI for raw data widgets:
- 'Delete widget' is disabled in the 3-dot widget menu.
- Prevent hiding columns:
- "Hide column" in the column context menu is disabled
- The "VISIBLE/HIDDEN COLUMNS" section of the right panel > Table > Widget is hidden
- The toggle bar isn't configurable to ensure that users know when raw data is filtered:
- The filter bar always shows if and only if some filters are present
- "Toggle Filter Bar" is hidden in:
- Right panel > Table > Sort & Filter
- The sort/filter menu next to the three-dot menu for widgets.
- Other restrictions in the right panel:
- In the Column tab:
- 'Use separate settings' is disabled
- In the Table tab:
- In the Widget subtab:
- 'Change Widget' is hidden
- In the Data subtab:
- 'Edit Data Selection' is hidden
- 'SELECT BY' is hidden
Test Plan: Tested manually. The behaviour of raw data widgets may still change and they aren't easily visible to users yet.

Summary:
Exposing new API in CustomSectionAPI for column mapping.
The custom widget can call configure method (or use a ready method) with additional parameter "columns".
This parameter is a list of column names that should be mapped by the user.
Mapping configuration is exposed through an additional method in the CustomSectionAPI "mappings". It is also available
through the onRecord(s) event.

Summary:
Bug summary: if in right bar user starts changing name of column, but then clicks on a different column name in table, THAT column will have its name changed.
This bug occurs because the save method is invoked by a blur event on a input field, which is triggered after all computed observables are calculated. Save method gets an observable to update, which by the time a blur event triggers, is changed to a new column.
The solution was to forcefully trigger the blur event as soon as possible - here by subscribing to the cursor position observable.
