Added OPENAI_API_KEY and GRIST_FORMULA_ASSISTANT to the README. GRIST_FORMULA_ASSISTANT may be removed in the long term, but for now the goal is just to get something into the grist-core README quickly for self-hosters.
Removed `documentation/llm.md` because it's outdated and not really providing value.

Summary:
Now that webhook payload delivery can be done using a proxy,
it may be desirable to no longer require a set of `ALLOWED_WEBHOOK_DOMAINS`.
This diff allows this variable to be set to `*`. With this setting,
any domain, and both `http` and `https` protocols will now be accepted.
Another possibility would be to default to unchecked
behavior if `ALLOWED_WEBHOOK_DOMAINS` is not set. But this would
introduce a new kind of vulnerability to unconfigured Grist
installations.
Test Plan: switched a test from naming a domain to using `*`

Summary:
This makes two small tweaks based on a user's questions about sharing
sites publicly for a self-managed installation:
* The support user `support@getgrist.com` is made configurable with
`GRIST_SUPPORT_EMAIL`. This came up because only the support user
can share material with the special "everyone" user. This restriction
was added to avoid spam.
* Regardless of public sharing settings, for our SaaS we had
decided not to list public sites to anonymous users. That is
somewhat a question of taste, so a `GRIST_LIST_PUBLIC_SITES` flag
is added to override this choice.
Public sharing isn't in a well polished state, and this diff doesn't
advance that, in fact it adds a new wrinkle :-/

Summary:
For self-hosted Grist, forward auth has proven useful, where
some proxy wrapped around Grist manages authentication, and
passes on user information to Grist in a trusted header.
The current implementation is adequate when Grist is the
only place where the user logs in or out, but is confusing
otherwise (see https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/issues/207).
Here we take some steps to broaden the scenarios Grist's
forward auth support can be used with:
* When a trusted header is present and is blank, treat
that as the user not being logged in, and don't look
any further for identity information. Specifically,
don't look in Grist's session information.
* Add a `GRIST_IGNORE_SESSION` flag to entirely prevent
Grist from picking up identity information from a cookie,
in order to avoid confusion between multiple login methods.
* Add tests for common scenarios.
Test Plan: added tests

Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:
* Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
overlay of extra code if present.
* Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
and `stubs/app`.
* The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
* The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
`grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
license.
Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:
```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```
Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:
```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```
The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:
```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
-v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```
This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.
I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:
* Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
with grist-core as the monorepo has.
* Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
* Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
`--build-context` functionality made that possible).
* Compatibility with monorepo build.
Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.
This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.

It looks like making gvisor sandboxing the default in our docker image is causing people trouble, so this backs off from that change. We retain gvisor's runsc executable in the image so that turning on sandboxing is just an environment variable setting away.
Lack of sandboxing is not good for users opening untrusted documents, so it would be good to be aggressive about turning it on, or communicating about it, so there's follow-up work needed. In the meantime I've updated the documentation about it somewhat.

Utility files in test/nbrowser are moved to core/test/nbrowser, so that gristUtils are available there. This increased the apparent size of the diff as "./" import paths needed replacing with "test/nbrowser/" paths.
