Summary:
This makes many small changes so that Grist is less fussy to run as a single instance behind a reverse proxy. Some users had difficulty with the self-connections Grist would make, due to internal network setup, and since these are unnecessary in any case in this scenario, they are now optimized away. Likewise some users had difficulties related to doc worker urls, which are now also optimized away. With these changes, users should be able to get a lot further on first try, at least far enough to open and edit documents.
The `GRIST_SINGLE_ORG` setting was proving a bit confusing, since it appeared to only work when set to `docs`. This diff
adds a check for whether the specified org exists, and if not, it creates it. This still depends on having a user email to make as the owner of the team, so there could be remaining difficulties there.

Summary:
Adds `common/ValueGuesser.ts` with logic for guessing column type and widget options (only for dates/datetimes) from an array of strings, and converting the strings to the guessed type in a lossless manner, so that converting back to Text gives the original values.
Changes `_ensure_column_accepts_data` in Python to call an exported JS method using the new logic where possible.
Test Plan: Added `test/common/ValueGuesser.ts` to unit test the core guessing logic and a DocApi end-to-end test for what happens to new columns.

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.

Summary:
This turns out necessary because ReferenceList columns are formatted
using the formatter of the associated visibleCol. This works correctly
in dedicated widgets, but in generic code (like SearchModel here), this
formatter needs to handle unexpected values (of type ReferenceList).
Without the fix, it produces JS errors when search reaches a
RefList:<Date> column.
A better fix would allow a formatter to know that it expects a ReferenceList,
AND to know how to format each value of it, but that's a bigger question
that's outside the scope of this fix.

- Uses `parseStrings` by default in DocApi (set `?noparse=true` in a request to disable) when adding/updating records through the `/data` or `/records` endpoints or in general with the `/apply` endpoint.
- Uses `parseStrings` for various actions in `ActiveDocImport`. Since most types are parsed in Python before these actions are constructed, this only affects references, which still look like errors in the import preview. Importing references can also easily still run into more complicated problems discussed in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1639514844028200

* Retain regular `test` target to run the test suite directly, without docker
* Add a `test:smoke` target to run a single simple test without `GRIST_TEST_LOGIN` activated
* Add a `test:docker` target to run the tests against a grist-core docker image - since tests rely on certain fixture teams/docs, added `TEST_SUPPORT_API_KEY` and `TEST_ADD_SAMPLES` flags to ease porting
The tests ported were `nbrowser` tests: `ActionLog.ts` (the first test I tend to port to anything, out of habit), `Fork.ts` (exercises a lot of doc creation paths), `HomeIntro.ts` (a lot of DocMenu exercise), and `DuplicateDocument.ts` (covers a feature known to be failing prior to this diff, the CORS tweak resolves it).
Test Plan: Manually tested via `buildtools/build_core.sh`. In follow up, I want to add running the `test:docker` target in grist-core's workflows. In jenkins, only the smoke test is run. There'd be an argument for running all tests, but they include particularly slow tests, and are duplicates of tests already run (in different configuration admittedly), so I'd like to try first just using them in grist-core to gate updates to any packaged version of Grist (the docker image currently).

Summary:
Grist has, up to now, used a throttling mechanism that allows a sandbox free rein until it starts using above some threshold percentage of a cpu for some time - at that point, we start sending STOP and CONT signals on a duty cycle, with longer and longer STOPped periods until cpu usage is at a threshold. The general idea is to do short jobs quickly, while throttling long jobs (thus unfortunately making them even longer) in order to continue doing other short jobs quickly.
The runsc sandbox is not a single process, there are in fact 5 per sandbox in our setup. Runsc can work with kvm or ptrace. Kvm is not available to us, so we use ptrace. With ptrace, there is one process that is the appropriate one to duty cycle, and another that needs to receive a signal in order to yield. This diff adds the necessary machinery.
This is a conservative change, where I stick with our existing throttling mechanism and adapt it to the new sandbox. It would be reasonable to consider switching throttling. There's a lot the OS allows. We can set a quota for how much cpu a process can use within a given period, for example. However the overall behavior with that would be quite different to what we have, so feels like this would need more discussion.
The implementation contains use of a linux utility `pgrep` since portability is not important (runsc is only available on linux) and there's no node api for enumerating children of a process.
The diff contains some tweaks to `buildtools/contain.sh` to streamline experimenting with Grist and runsc on a mac. It is important for throttling that node and the sandbox processes are in the same process name space, if docker is in between them then some extra machinery is needed (a proxy throttler and a way to communicate with it) which I chose not to implement.
