c879393a8e (core) support adding user characteristic tables for granular ACLs
Summary:
This is a prototype for expanding the conditions that can be used in granular ACLs.

When processing ACLs, the following variables (called "characteristics") are now available in conditions:
 * UserID
 * Email
 * Name
 * Access (owners, editors, viewers)

The set of variables can be expanded by adding a "characteristic" clause.  This is a clause which specifies:
 * A tableId
 * The name of an existing characteristic
 * A colId
The effect of the clause is to expand the available characteristics with all the columns in the table, with values taken from the record where there is a match between the specified characteristic and the specified column.

Existing clauses are generalized somewhat to demonstrate and test the use these variables. That isn't the main point of this diff though, and I propose to leave generalizing+systematizing those clauses for a future diff.

Issues I'm not dealing with here:
 * How clauses combine.  (The scope on GranularAccessRowClause is a hack to save me worrying about that yet).
 * The full set of matching methods we'll allow.
 * Refreshing row access in clients when the tables mentioned in characteristic tables change.
 * Full CRUD permission control.
 * Default rules (part of combination).
 * Reporting errors in access rules.

That said, with this diff it is possible to e.g. assign a City to editors by their email address or name, and have only rows for those Cities be visible in their client. Ability to modify those rows, and remain updates about them, remains under incomplete control.

Test Plan: added tests

2edf64c132 (core) remove metrics
Summary: This removes some old metric code. There's also a user preference dialog that has a single option (whether to allow metrics) this is left in place with a dummy option. It could be ripped out as well, probably.

Test Plan: existing tests pass

526fda4eba (core) make user role available in ActiveDoc methods
Summary: This makes the user's role (owner/editor/viewer) available in ActiveDoc methods. No use of that information is made yet, other than to log it.  The bulk of the diff is getting a handle on the various ways the methods can be called, and systematizing it a bit more.  In passing, access control is added to broadcasts of document changes, so users who no longer have access to a document do not receive changes if they still have the document open.

Test Plan: existing tests pass; test for broadcast access control added

30866c6c95 (core) Fix two issues combining to report misleading error when saving to an empty name
Summary:
1. The /import endpoint wasn't handling poor names like ".grist" as
   intended, instead trying to import them using the plugin-based imports.

2. The SaveCopy dialog was allowing users to save to an empty name,
   particularly bad because new docs now default to an empty name.

Error manifested as "Cannot parse data" to the user.
Reported in https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/1242629116/292

Test Plan: Added tests for both parts of the fix.

5ef889addd (core) move home server into core
Summary: This moves enough server material into core to run a home server.  The data engine is not yet incorporated (though in manual testing it works when ported).

Test Plan: existing tests pass
