Summary:
This gives a mechanism for controlling access control within a document that is distinct from (though implemented with the same machinery as) granular access rules.
It was hard to find a good way to insert this that didn't dissolve in a soup of complications, so here's what I went with:
* When reading rules, if there are shares, extra rules are added.
* If there are shares, all rules are made conditional on a "ShareRef" user property.
* "ShareRef" is null when a doc is accessed in normal way, and the row id of a share when accessed via a share.
There's no UI for controlling shares (George is working on it for forms), but you can do it by editing a `_grist_Shares` table in a document. Suppose you make a fresh document with a single page/table/widget, then to create an empty share you can do:
```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['AddRecord', '_grist_Shares', null, {linkId: 'xyz', options: '{"publish": true}'}])
```
If you look at the home db now there should be something in the `shares` table:
```
$ sqlite3 -table landing.db "select * from shares"
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| id | key | doc_id | link_id | options |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| 1 | gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K | 4qYuace1xP2CTcPunFdtan | xyz | ... |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
```
If you take the key from that (gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K in this case) and replace the document's urlId in its URL with `s.<key>` (in this case `s.gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K` then you can use the regular document landing page (it will be quite blank initially) or API endpoint via the share.
E.g. for me `http://localhost:8080/o/docs/s0gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K/share-inter-3` accesses the doc.
To actually share some material - useful commands:
```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Views_section').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Views_section', 1, {shareOptions: '{"publish": true, "form": true}'}])
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Pages').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Pages', 1, {shareRef: 1}])
```
For a share to be effective, at least one page needs to have its shareRef set to the rowId of the share, and at least one widget on one of those pages needs to have its shareOptions set to {"publish": "true", "form": "true"} (meaning turn on sharing, and include form sharing), and the share itself needs {"publish": true} on its options.
I think special shares are kind of incompatible with public sharing, since by their nature (allowing access to all endpoints) they easily expose the docId, and changing that would be hard.

Summary:
Attachments are a special case for granular access control. A user is now allowed to read a given attachment if they have read access to a cell containing its id. So when a user writes to a cell in an attachment column, it is important that they can only write the ids of cells to which they have access. This diff allows a user to add an attachment id in a cell if:
* The user already has access to that a attachment via some existing cell, or
* The user recently updated the attachment, or
* The attachment change is from an undo/redo of a previous action attributed to that user

Summary:
This adds rudimentary support for opening certain SQLite files in Grist.
If you have a file such as `landing.db` in Grist, you can convert it to Grist format by doing (either in monorepo or grist-core):
```
yarn run cli -h
yarn run cli sqlite -h
yarn run cli sqlite gristify landing.db
```
The file is now openable by Grist. To actually do so with the regular Grist server, you'll need to either import it, or convert some doc you don't care about in the `samples/` directory to be a soft link to it (and then force a reload).
This implementation is a rudimentary experiment. Here are some awkwardnesses:
* Only tables that happen to have a column called `id`, and where the column happens to be an integer, can be opened directly with Grist as it is today. That could be generalized, but it looked more than a Gristathon's worth of work, so I instead used SQLite views.
* Grist will handle tables that start with an uncapitalized letter a bit erratically. You can successfully add columns, for example, but removing them will cause sadness - Grist will rename the table in a confused way.
* I didn't attempt to deal with column names with spaces etc (though views could deal with those).
* I haven't tried to do any fancy type mapping.
* Columns with constraints can make adding new rows impossible in Grist, since Grist requires that a row can be added with just a single cell set.
Test Plan: added small test

Building:
- Builds no longer wait for tsc for either client, server, or test targets. All use esbuild which is very fast.
- Build still runs tsc, but only to report errors. This may be turned off with `SKIP_TSC=1` env var.
- Grist-core continues to build using tsc.
- Esbuild requires ES6 module semantics. Typescript's esModuleInterop is turned
on, so that tsc accepts and enforces correct usage.
- Client-side code is watched and bundled by webpack as before (using esbuild-loader)
Code changes:
- Imports must now follow ES6 semantics: `import * as X from ...` produces a
module object; to import functions or class instances, use `import X from ...`.
- Everything is now built with isolatedModules flag. Some exports were updated for it.
Packages:
- Upgraded browserify dependency, and related packages (used for the distribution-building step).
- Building the distribution now uses esbuild's minification. babel-minify is no longer used.
Test Plan: Should have no behavior changes, existing tests should pass, and docker image should build too.

Summary:
Adds a Python function `REQUEST` which makes an HTTP GET request. Behind the scenes it:
- Raises a special exception to stop trying to evaluate the current cell and just keep the existing value.
- Notes the request arguments which will be returned by `apply_user_actions`.
- Makes the actual request in NodeJS, which sends back the raw response data in a new action `RespondToRequests` which reevaluates the cell(s) that made the request.
- Wraps the response data in a class which mimics the `Response` class of the `requests` library.
In certain cases, this asynchronous flow doesn't work and the sandbox will instead synchronously call an exported JS method:
- When reevaluating a single cell to get a formula error, the request is made synchronously.
- When a formula makes multiple requests, the earlier responses are retrieved synchronously from files which store responses as long as needed to complete evaluating formulas. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/CL1LQ8AT0/p1653399747810139

Summary:
This removes the need for any information drawn from the content of recent actions when loading a document.
The undo/redo system does need some facts about recent actions up front. But that system has an important restriction: only actions a particular client is known to have generated can be undone by that client.
So in this diff, as we store which client has performed an action, we also store the few pieces of metadata about that action that the undo/redo system needs: `linkId`, `otherId`, `rowIdHint`, `isUndo` fields. These are all small integers (or in one case a boolean).
An existing limitation is that information about which client has performed which action is stored in memory in the worker, and not persisted anywhere. This diff does not change that limitation, meaning that undos continue to not survive a worker transition. A reasonable way to deal with that would be to back the store with redis.

The `engine.apply_user_actions` method now returns a `direct` array, with a boolean for each `stored` action, set to `true` if the action is attributed to the user or `false` if it is attributed to the engine. `GranularAccess` ignores actions attributed to the engine when checking for edit rights.

* Removal of references to a removed row are considered direct changes.

This is another incremental step. There are deficiencies in actions that include schema changes, and many other lacunae. But the overall flow is taking shape.
Access control is done at the DocAction level, requiring the sandbox to process the UserActions, and then be reverted if the action proves unlawful. This could be optimized away in many simple and important cases, but I'm not sure it is possible to avoid in general.
