Eg. before this commit, this table would result in Date columns:
| A | B |
| ----- | -- |
| FALSE | 0 |
For now, even FALSE is parsed as Numeric (not sure why we don't have
a BooleanConverter).
Summary:
Python 2 only needs to be supported for the sake of old documents and formulas. This doesn't apply to the separate sandboxes that parse files for imports. Using Python 3 only allows using newer libraries and library versions. In particular, the latest version of openpyxl doesn't support Python 2. This will also make it easier to make other similar changes in the future, such as replacing messytables with a modern library. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1661261829343999?thread_ts=1661260442.837959&cid=C0234CPPXPA
The latest openpyxl is better at handling a particular edge case with broken dates in Excel, but still doesn't quite do what we want, so we monkeypatch it. Discussion: https://grist.slack.com/archives/C02EGJ1FUCV/p1661440851911869?thread_ts=1661154219.515549&cid=C02EGJ1FUCV
Setting `preferredPythonVersion` to '3' in SafePythonComponent ensures that JS always creates import sandboxes that use Python 3. Within Python, a module used by all imports will raise an error in Python 2. Python unit tests of imports are now only run in Python 3, using the `load_tests` protocol of `unittest`.
Test Plan: Mostly existing tests. Added another strange date to the Excel fixture.

This addresses a rare bug where xls files with invalid dimensions
could not be imported into Grist due to how openpyxl handles
parsing them.

Summary:
openpyxl was producing tuples while some older code expects lists. Choosing to convert the tuples to lists (instead of making the other code work with tuples) in case there's other similar issues still out there. Should fix the error mentioned in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1652797247167719:

Summary:
Use openpyxl instead of messytables (which used xlrd internally) in import_xls.py.
Skip empty rows since excel files can easily contain huge numbers of them.
Drop support for xls files (which openpyxl doesn't support) in favour of the newer xlsx format.
Fix some details relating to python virtualenvs and dependencies, as Jenkins was failing to find new Python dependencies.
Test Plan: Mostly relying on existing tests. Updated various tests which referred to xls files instead of xlsx. Added a Python test for skipping empty rows.

Summary:
JSON import logic was creating columns of type Int when JSON contained integral
values. This causes errors with large errors (e.g. millisecond timestamps), and
Numeric is generally the more convenient and common default.

Summary:
- Removed string parsing and some type guessing code from parse_data.py. That logic is now implicitly done by ValueGuesser by leaving the initial column type as Any. parse_data.py mostly comes into play when importing files (e.g. Excel) containing values that already have types, i.e. numbers and dates.
- 0s and 1s are treated as numbers instead of booleans to keep imports lossless.
- Removed dateguess.py and test_dateguess.py.
- Changed what `guessDateFormat` does when multiple date formats work equally well for the given data, in order to be consistent with the old dateguess.py.
- Columns containing numbers are now always imported as Numeric, never Int.
- Removed `NullIfEmptyParser` because it was interfering with the new system. Its purpose was to avoid pointlessly changing a column from Any to Text when no actual data was inserted. A different solution to that problem was already added to `_ensure_column_accepts_data` in the data engine in a recent related diff.
Test Plan:
- Added 2 `nbrowser/Importer2` tests.
- Updated various existing tests.
- Extended testing of `guessDateFormat`. Added `guessDateFormats` to show how ambiguous dates are handled internally.

Summary:
Python isdigit() returns true for unicode characters such as "²", which fail
when used as an argument to int().
Instead, be explicit about only considering characters 0-9 to be digits.

Summary:
Our date-guessing logic analyzes text in full looking for date parts.
This diff skip all that work when text is so long that we don't need to
consider it to be a valid date.
This is a quick fix. There are probably many other cases when we don't
need to try hard to parse arbitrary text as dates.
Test Plan: Added a fixture and test case that would trigger the error without the fix.
