6b582b9ace (core) Remove the old attempt at ACLs implemented in Python.
Summary:
The new plans for granular access control are different and handled by
node.js. Some of the same tables will be reused, of which we never made
real use before except for expecting certain specific initial records.

This diff removes the old logic, replacing it with a stub that satisfies
the interface expected by other code.

It also removes several unused UserActions: AddUser/RemoveUser/
AddInstance/RemoveInstance.

Test Plan: Existing tests should pass.

45d2d5f897 (core) back-end support for tables that are accessible only by owners
Summary:
This makes it possible to serve a table or tables only to owners.

 * The _grist_ACLResources table is abused (temporarily) such that rows of the form `{colId: '~o', tableId}` are interpreted as meaning that `tableId` is private to owners.
 * Many websocket and api endpoints are updated to preserve the privacy of these tables.
 * In a document where some tables are private, a lot of capabilities are turned off for non-owners to avoid leaking info indirectly.
 * The client is tweaked minimally, to show '-' where a page with some private material would otherwise go.

No attempt is made to protect data from private tables pulled into non-private tables via formulas.

There are some known leaks remaining:
 * Changes to the schema of private tables are still broadcast to all clients (fixable).
 * Non-owner may be able to access snapshots or make forks or use other corners of API (fixable).
 * Changing name of table makes it public, since tableId in ACLResource is not updated (fixable).

Security will require some work, the attack surface is large.

Test Plan: added tests
