42060df29a (core) Formula autocomplete improvements for references and lookups
Summary:
Makes the following improvements to formula autocomplete:

- When a user types `$RefCol` (or part of it), also show `$RefCol.VisibleCol` (replace actual column names) in the autocomplete even before the `.` is typed, to help users understand the difference between a raw reference/record and its visible column.
- When a user types a table name, show `.lookupOne` and `.lookupRecords` in the autocomplete, again even before the `.` is typed.
- For `.lookupRecords(` and `.lookupOne(`, once the `(` is entered, suggest each column name as a keyword argument.
- Also suggest lookup arguments involving compatible reference columns, especially 'reverse reference' lookups like `refcol=$id` which are very common and difficult for users.
- To support these features, the Ace editor autocomplete needs some patching to fetch fresh autocomplete options after typing `.` or `(`. This also improves unrelated behaviour that wasn't great before when one column name is contained in another. See the first added browser test.

accd640078 (core) add a user.SessionID value for trigger formulas and granular access rules
Summary:
This makes a `user.SessionID` value available in information about the user, for use with trigger formulas and granular access rules. The ID should be constant within a browser session for anonymous user. For logged in users it simply reflects their user id.

This ID makes it possible to write access rules and trigger formulas that allow different anonymous users to create, view, and edit their own records in a document.

For example, you could have a brain-storming document for puns, and allow anyone to add to it (without logging in), letting people edit their own records, but not showing the records to others until they are approved by a moderator. Without something like this, we could only let anonymous people add one field of a record, and not have a secure way to let them edit that field or others in the same record.

Also adds a `user.IsLoggedIn` flag in passing.

Test Plan: Added a test, updated tests. The test added is a mini-moderation doc, don't use it for real because it allows users to edit their entries after a moderator has approved them.

9bc9872915 (core) update tests after jenkins engine freshening
Summary:
After updating the jenkins test workers, chrome and python changes resulting in a scattering of test failures.

 * Clicking on an icon that has been transformed to mirror around the y axis fails via selenium. Not sure why. "Fixed" by asking the browser to do the click.
 * There was a small change from python 3.9.6 to python 3.9.7 that affected completion of property attributes.

Worker updates here: https://phab.getgrist.com/D3029

Test Plan: these tests

a9d5b4d5af (core) Refactor Table.Record[Set] classes
Summary:
Dealing with some things that bothered and sometimes confused me:

Make Table.Record[Set] provide the table argument automatically
Remove the classes from UserTable because they're not used anywhere and the Table/UserTable distinction is already confusing. They're not documented for users and they don't show up in autocomplete.
Remove RecordSet.Record because it was confusing me where that attribute was being set, but also this means .Record will work properly for users with columns named 'Record'.

Test Plan: existing tests

e5eeb3ec80 (core) Add 'user' variable to trigger formulas
Summary:
The 'user' variable has a similar API to the one from access rules: it
contains properties about a user, such as their full name and email
address, as well as optional, user-defined attributes that are populated
via user attribute tables.

Test Plan: Python unit tests.

9d6637458e (core) For autocomplete suggestions in formulas, add links to suggestions we have documentation for.
Summary:
This is a hacky solution that unfortunately relies on internal workings of ACE
autocomplete popups. I don't see a less hacky one if we stick with ACE
autocomplete.

Test Plan: Added a test case for links to test/nbrowser/Formulas.ts

003029bf8a (core) Improve suggestions for formula autocomplete
Summary:
- Make suggestions less case-sensitive (not entirely case-insensitive, but
  allow top-level suggestions to match in all-lowercase)
- Add function signatures to suggestions for Grist functions.
- Excel-like functions that are present but not implemented are no longer
  offered as suggestions.

Test Plan:
Added a test case on python side, and a browser test case for how suggestions
are rendered and inserted.
