Summary:
When a widget `A` is selected by a widget `B` so that `A` is filtered, adding a new row to `A` uses the values in the selected row of `B` and the columns relevant to the linking as default values for the new row. This ensures that the new row matches the current linking filter and remains visible. However this would previously cause a sandbox error when one of the linking columns was a formula column, which doesn't allow setting values. This diff ignores formula columns when picking default values.
Since the value of the formula column in the new row typically won't match the linking filter, extra measures are needed to avoid the new row immediately disappearing. Regular filters already have a mechanism for this, but I didn't manage to extend it to also work for linking. Thanks @dsagal for creating `UnionRowSource` (originally in D4017) which is now used as the solution for temporarily exempting rows from both kinds of filtering.
While testing, I also came across another bug in linking summary tables that caused incorrect filtering, which I fixed with some changes to `DynamicQuerySet`.
Test Plan: Extended an nbrowser test, which both tests for the main change as well as the secondary bugfix.

Allows bidirectional / cyclic linking for same-record cursor links.
This should allow multiple sections to all synchronize their cursors,
such that clicking in any one of them will move all the others.
Works even if some sections in the cycle have rows filtered out (the
filtered-out sections might desync their cursors, but the correct cursor
position will still propagate downstream, and they'll re-sync if clicking on
a row that is present in them)
Under the hood, each cursor has a _lastEditedAt counter, updated when
a user's action changes the cursor in a section, such that we can always
tell which section was touched most recently. This is used to resolve
conflicts stably when dealing with cycles or chains of cursor-links.
Updated selectBy and recursiveMoveToCursorPos to handle cycles
Updated tests for selectBy behavior
However, main bidirectional-linking tests are not in this commit, they'll come in a subsequent PR
Summary:
Here's a series of badness that easily leads to a crash, in reverse order:
- Lodash's map() function interprets an object with a .length property as an array.
- Some very old code generated human-friendly descriptions of user actions,
applying map() to parts of them. It so happens that this generated description
isn't even used.
- If a user action is encountered with a sufficiently large length propery,
map() would exhaust the server memory.
Fixed by removing old unneeded code, and replacing some other occurrences of
lodash's map() with native equivalents.
Test Plan: Tested manually on a local reproduction of the issue.

regular selection, and allowing to overlap with regular selection.
2. Don't show "secondary" cursors (those in inactive sections), to keep a single
cursor on the screen, since having multiple (which different in color) could
cause confusion.
3. An unrelated improvement (prompted by a new fixture doc) is to default the
active section to the top-left one (rather than the one with smallest rowId).
4. Another unrelated improvement (prompted by a test affected by the previous unrelated improvement) is to skip chart widgets when searching (previously search would step through those with an invisible "cursor").
Includes also tweaks for better testing on Arm-based Macs:
- Add support for TEST_CHROME_BINARY_PATH environment variable (helpful for a Mac arm64 architecture workaround)
- Remove unsetting of SELENIUM_REMOTE_URL when running headless (unlikely to affect anyone, and can be done outside the script, but interferes with the Mac workaround)

Editing data selection would sometimes cause columns to be hidden in the updated view. A
missing conditional was the culprit: generally, field visibility shouldn't be modified after the view is
updated, but we make an exception for charts to keep certain fields visible or hidden between
updates, so that chart configuration doesn't change too significantly and cause unexpected
data to be displayed. This special behavior for charts was erroneously being applied to non-charts
as well.
Also, when no columns were visible in a view, opening the row menu would cause an error to be
thrown. A loop was inadvertently using null control variables - an explicit check for non-null loop
variables was added, which skips the loop when no columns are visible.

- The source type isn't Text, because in that case it's nice if type guessing still happens

Summary:
When two widgets are linked by same-record linking, and the source of that link is also filter-linked, then it will pick up default values from its own filter-link source, but the same-record-link target didn't. This fixes that so that default values are filled in intuitively.
Moved the logic of linkingState, linkingFilter, and getDefaultColValues from BaseView.js to LinkingState.ts and ViewSectionRec.ts. In particular getDefaultColValues is now a property of LinkingState which may be copied from the source view section for a same-record link.
Note that `ViewSectionRec.linkingFilter` no longer uses `computerBuilder` and thus doesn't ignore dependencies inside LinkingState any more. I couldn't figure out how to make `linkingFilter` a `pureComputed` (otherwise I get recursion errors) that ignores dependencies. In any case, it's now important to have a dependency on `srcSection.linkingState()` for `getDefaultColValues` to work correctly, so I think this is for the best.

Summary:
Allows selecting by a reflist in another table. This generalises cursor-linking with a ref column, but now it's filter linking.
Added another case to LinkingState where the source column is a reflist to the target table, filtering by the id column.
Updated convertQueryFromRefs and related functions to handle this since the id column has no column ref. In this case the string 'id' is used instead of a number.
LinkingState also checks if the source value is a reflist and uses that as the list of filter values instead of a single-element list of the cell value.
Indirect linking also works, where the source and target columns both are both references to the same table. This was the plan for a source reflist and target ref column.
I was surprised to see it also works perfectly when both columns are reflists, and it filters rows where there's an intersection!
Adding rows to the target section using the selected source record for default values is iffy. When filtering by row ID, there's no column for defaults, so the new row disappears.
For a source reflist and target ref, the first value of the reflist is the default, which is okayish. When both are reflists, the full source reflist is the default for the target column.
This seems like a bit much but just using the first value seems a bit arbitrary when there's room for all of them?
While doing all this I noticed an unrelated bug which I fixed as I was refactoring. Previously cursor linking based on a reference column did not update the cursor in the link target
when the value of the selected reference cell changed. Now cursor linking uses a floating row model like most other cases to observe the value correctly.

Then when converting back in `convertQueryFromRefs` we construct `Query.contains: {[colId: string]: boolean}`.
Finally `getFilterFunc` uses `Query.contains` to decide what kind of filtering to do.
