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).
* Replace `ormconfig.js` with a newer mechanism of configuring
TypeORM that can be included in the source code properly.
The path to `ormconfig.js` has always been awkward to handle,
and eliminating the file makes building different Grist setups
a bit simpler.
* Remove `electron` package. It is barely used, just for some old
remnants of an older attempt at electron packaging. It was used
for two types, which I left at `any` for now. More code pruning is
no doubt possible here, but I'd rather do it when Electron packaging
has solidified.
* Add a hook for replacing the login system, and for adding some
extra middleware the login system may need.
* Add support for some more possible locations of Python, which
arise when a standalone version of it is included in the Electron
package. This isn't very general purpose, just configurations
that I found useful.
* Support using grist-core within a yarn workspace - the only tweak
needed was webpack related.
* Allow an external ID to be optionally associated with documents.
Summary:
The docker image was not building or running correctly
after breaking out more material into core. This corrects
the necessary paths.
Test Plan:
tested by building locally with `./contain.sh ./build docker`
and running containers in development and production mode.

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
