The problem here is that making it this optional meant that it wasn't
supplied by [the enterprise creation
function](fb22d94878/ext/app/server/lib/create.ts (L10)).
This resulted in an odd situation where the secret was required for
the enterprise edition, even though it offers no additional security.
Without this key, the enterprise code crashes.
The requirement to supply a secret key would make a Grist instance
crash if you start in normal mode but switch to enterprise, as the
enterprise creator does not supply a default secret key.
Access control for ConvertFromColumn in the presence of access rules had previously been left as a TODO. This change allows the action when the user has schema rights. Because schema rights let you create formulas, they let you read anything, so there is currently no value in nuance here.

A new onboarding page is now shown to all new users visiting the doc

I need to be able to read the config at module load time, which makes
async difficult if not impossible.
This will make read config operations synchronous, which is fine. The

This adds a config file that's loaded very early on during startup.
It enables us to save/load settings from within Grist's admin panel, that affect the startup of the FlexServer.
The config file loading:
- Is type-safe,
- Validates the config file on startup
- Provides a path to upgrade to future versions.
It should be extensible from other versions of Grist (such as desktop), by overriding `getGlobalConfig` in stubs.
----
Some minor refactors needed to occur to make this possible. This includes:
- Extracting config loading into its own module (out of FlexServer).
- Cleaning up the `loadConfig` function in FlexServer into `loadLoginSystem` (which is what its main purpose was before).
Summary:
Version API endpoint wasn't logging telemetry from POST requests. The issue was in registration
order, this endpoint was registered before `expressJson` and it couldn't read json body in the handler.

Follow-up of #994. This PR revises the session ID generation logic to improve security in the absence of a secure session secret. It also adds a section in the admin panel "security" section to nag system admins when GRIST_SESSION_SECRET is not set.
Following is an excerpt from internal conversation.
TL;DR: Grist's current implementation generates semi-secure session IDs and uses a publicly known default signing key to sign them when the environment variable GRIST_SESSION_SECRET is not set. This PR generates cryptographically secure session IDs to dismiss security concerns around an insecure signing key, and encourages system admins to configure their own signing key anyway.
> The session secret is required by expressjs/session to sign its session IDs. It's designed as an extra protection against session hijacking by randomly guessing session IDs and hitting a valid one. While it is easy to encourage users to set a distinct session secret, this is unnecessary if session IDs are generated in a cryptographically secure way. As of now Grist uses version 4 UUIDs as session IDs (see app/server/lib/gristSessions.ts - it uses shortUUID.generate which invokes uuid.v4 under the hood). These contain 122 bits of entropy, technically insufficient to be considered cryptographically secure. In practice, this is never considered a real vulnerability. To compare, RSA2048 is still very commonly used in web servers, yet it only has 112 bits of security (>=128 bits = "secure", rule of thumb in cryptography). But for peace of mind I propose using crypto.getRandomValues to generate real 128-bit random values. This should render session ID signing unnecessary and hence dismiss security concerns around an insecure signing key.
This adds an endpoint for the admin user to be able to signal to a
controlling process to restart the server. This is intended for
`docker-runner.mjs`.

This is a small thing, but when visiting the admin, the websocket test
doesn't send valid JSON, which the receiving endpoint expects. This
results in a harmless exception being thrown.
While this test should eventually be modified to be run from the
frontend, for now let's just make a small fix and send valid JSON in
order to avoid that JSON parsing exception.

also trying to load all users the document is shared with by checking the home db.

* Adds authentication mechanism to admin panel
Adds field to the "Security settings" admin display, showing the
currently configured authentication mechanism.
* Adds 14px margin to admin panel names
Context:
On self-hosted instances, some places in the code rely on the fact that we resolves public domains while being behind reverse proxies. This leads to cases where features are not available, such as the "Duplicate document" one.
Bugs that are solved - n self-hosted instances:
Impossible to open templates and tutorials right after having converted them;
Impossible to submit forms since version 1.1.13;
Impossible to restore a previous version of a document (snapshot);
Impossible to copy a document;
Solution:
Introduce the APP_HOME_INTERNAL_URL env variable, which is quite the same as APP_DOC_INTERNAL_URL except that it may point to any home worker;
Make /api/worker/:assignmentId([^/]+)/?* return not only the doc worker public url but also the internal one, and adapt the call points like fetchDocs;
Ensure that the home and doc worker internal urls are trusted by trustOrigin;

Summary:
This adds a basic sandbox check to the admin panel. It also makes
the "probes" used in the boot page available from the admin panel,
though they are not yet displayed. The sandbox check is built as
a probe.
In the interests of time, a lot of steps had to be deferred:
* Reconcile fully the admin panel and boot page. Specifically, the
admin panel should be equally robust to common configuration problems.
* Add tests for the sandbox check.
* Generalize to multi-server setups. The read-out will not yet be useful
for setups where doc workers and home servers are configured
separately.
