Summary:
Based on https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/pull/251. It may not look like it, but there's very little going on in this diff:
- Tweak the DATEVALUE doctest for Python 2/3 compatibility.
- Mirrors the PR's changes to requirements3.txt in requirements.txt, i.e. make the same dependency upgrades in Python 2.
- Make the same upgrades in the thirdparty folder for the Python 2 nacl sandbox.
Test Plan: Updated one doctest for dateutil. Checked changelog of sortedcontainers. html5lib is only used by messytables and isn't actually relevant.

Summary: Using the `random` module in the Grist `UUID()` function is not cryptographically secure, and is only necessary for the old pynbox (Python 2) sandbox which doesn't support `os.urandom`. This diff uses the `uuid.uuidv4()` function from the Python standard library when possible, which is more secure, only falling back to the old implementation when necessary.
Test Plan: Added Python unit tests to check both implementations.

Summary:
The MIN and MAX functions for formulas previously only considered numbers, ignoring other types, including dates. An example of this being a problem is here: https://community.getgrist.com/t/last-field-circularreferror-what-is-it/1114/4 . Using `MIN` on a column of dates would return 0 (the default) which gets converted to 1970-01-01. Users have to use `min` instead, which is confusing, and doesn't work when some values are empty.
This diff lets the functions operate on date and datetime values. A mixture of dates and datetimes is allowed, even though these cannot usually be compared in Python. Mixing dates and numbers will raise an exception.
Test Plan: Extended doctests

Summary:
This calls a new `initialize` method on the sandbox before we start
doing calculations with it, to make sure that `random.seed()` has
been called. Otherwise, if the sandbox is cloned from a checkpoint,
the seed will have been reset.
The `initialize` method includes the functionality previously done
by `set_doc_url` since it is also initialization/personalization and
this way we avoid introducing another round trip to the sandbox.
Test Plan: tested with grist-core configured to use gvisor

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:
Adds some special handling to summary table and lookup logic:
- Source rows with empty choicelists/reflists get a corresponding summary row with an empty string/reference when grouping by that column, instead of excluding them from any group
- Adds a new `QueryOperation` 'empty' in the client which is used in `LinkingState`, `QuerySet`, and `recursiveMoveToCursorPos` to match empty lists in source tables against falsy values in linked summary tables.
- Adds a new parameter `match_empty` to the Python `CONTAINS` function so that regular formulas can implement the same behaviour as summary tables. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1654030490932119
- Uses the new `match_empty` argument in the formula generated for the `group` column when detaching a summary table.
Test Plan: Updated and extended Python and nbrowser tests of summary tables grouped by choicelists to test for new behaviour with empty lists.

Summary:
Adds a Python function `PEEK()` for use in formulas which temporarily sets a new attribute `Engine._peeking` which disables the `_use_node` method, preventing dependency tracking and allowing the given expression to use outdated values. This allows circumventing circular reference errors. It's particularly meant for trigger formulas although it works in normal formulas as well. The expression is wrapped in a `lambda` by `codebuilder` for lazy evaluation.

Summary:
This is an attempt to optimise Engine._use_node. It doesn't seem to actually improve overall performance significantly, but it shouldn't make it worse, and I think it's an improvement to the code.
It turns out that there's no need to track a stack of compute frames any more. The only time we get close to nested evaluation, we set allow_evaluation=False to prevent it actually happening. So there's only one 'frame' during actual evaluation, which means we can get rid of the concept of frames entirely. This allows simplifying the code and letting the computer do less work in general.

Summary: This is https://phab.getgrist.com/D3205 plus some changes (https://github.com/dsagal/grist/compare/type-convert...type-convert-server?expand=1) that move the conversion process to the backend. A new user action ConvertFromColumn uses `call_external` so that the data engine can delegate back to ActiveDoc. Code for creating formatters and parsers is significantly refactored so that most of the logic is in `common` and can be used in different ways.
Test Plan: The original diff adds plenty of tests.

Summary:
This makes it possible to set the type of a column to ReferenceList, but the UI is terrible
ReferenceList.ts is a mishmash of ChoiceList and Reference that sort of works but something about the CSS is clearly broken
ReferenceListEditor is just a text editor, you have to type in a JSON array of row IDs. Ignore the value that's present when you start editing. I can maybe try mashing together ReferenceEditor and ChoiceListEditor but it doesn't seem wise.
I think @georgegevoian should take over here. Reviewing the diff as it is to check for obvious issues is probably good but I don't think it's worth trying to land/merge anything.

Summary:
* Adds a `SELF_HYPERLINK()` python function, with optional keyword arguments to set a label, the page, and link parameters.
* Adds a `UUID()` python function, since using python's uuid.uuidv4 hits a problem accessing /dev/urandom in the sandbox. UUID makes no particular quality claims since it doesn't use an audited implementation. A difficult to guess code is convenient for some use cases that `SELF_HYPERLINK()` enables.
The canonical URL for a document is mutable, but older versions generally forward. So for implementation simplicity the document url is passed it on sandbox creation and remains fixed throughout the lifetime of the sandbox. This could and should be improved in future.
The URL is passed into the sandbox as a `DOC_URL` environment variable.
The code for creating the URL is factored out of `Notifier.ts`. Since the url is a function of the organization as well as the document, some rejiggering is needed to make that information available to DocManager.
On document imports, the new document is registered in the database slightly earlier now, in order to keep the procedure for constructing the URL in different starting conditions more homogeneous.
