Summary:
Previously in {{D1053}} we switched to using BLOB as the "type" for all columns, to prevent SQLite from casting data unexpectedly. This diff now returns to more meaningful types. We apply marshalling to values when being placed in a column where a cast might occur, to inhibit such casting.
The benefit is that Grist documents become easier to interact with via regular database clients/libraries, which often rely on the column type more than a purely SQLite tool would.
On column type conversion, we run all blobs in the column through a decode/encode cycle so if they no longer need to be marshalled they revert to native type. This could be optimized further, it is somewhat brute force.
Test Plan: Updated tests and reference document

Summary:
Loading all user data to run a migration is risky (creates more than usual
memory pressure), and almost never needed (only one migration requires it).
This diff attempts to run migrations using only metadata (_grist_* tables),
but retries if the sandbox tells it that all data is needed.
The intent is for new migrations to avoid needing all data.
Test Plan: Added a somewhat contrived unittest.

Summary:
- Introduce a new SQLiteDB migration, which adds DB columns for formula columns
- Newly added columns have the special ['P'] (pending) value in them
(in order to show the usual "Loading..." on the first load that triggers the migration)
- Calculated values are added to .stored/.undo fields of user actions.
- Various changes made in the sandbox to include .stored/.undo in the right order.
- OnDemand tables ignore stored formula columns, replacing them with special SQL as before
- In particular, converting to OnDemand table leaves stale values in those
columns, we should maybe clean those out.
Some tweaks on the side:
- Allow overriding chai assertion truncateThreshold with CHAI_TRUNCATE_THRESHOLD
- Rebuild python automatically in watch mode
Test Plan: Fixed various tests, updated some fixtures. Many python tests that check actions needed adjustments because actions moved from .stored to .undo. Some checks added to catch situations previously only caught in browser tests.

Summary:
Deliberate changes:
* save snapshots to s3 prior to migrations.
* label migration snapshots in s3 metadata.
* avoid pruning migration snapshots for a month.
Opportunistic changes:
* Associate document timezone with snapshots, so pruning can respect timezones.
* Associate actionHash/Num with snapshots.
* Record time of last change in snapshots (rather than just s3 upload time, which could be a while later).
This ended up being a biggish change, because there was nowhere ideal to put tags (list of possibilities in diff).
Test Plan: added tests

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
