Summary: While `$ref.other_ref` returns a reference (Record) allowing chaining more properties like `$ref.other_ref.foo`, reflists (RecordSet) did not allow this, e.g. `$reflist.other_ref` returned a plain list of records, preventing chaining more dot notation. Discussed here: https://grist.slack.com/archives/CDHABLZJT/p1648845745765839
Test Plan: Added a Python unit test. Formulas like `$reflist.other_ref` were already very common though, and getting the functionality code slightly wrong leads to a flood of test failures.

Summary:
Adds a `data-grist-col-ref` attribute to the copied HTML, then uses that when pasting to look up the source column and retrieve info about it. Copies the info into the target column if:
- The document is the same (the docId hash matches)
- The source column still exists and has the same type as when copied
- The source type isn't Text, because in that case it's nice if type guessing still happens
- The target column is empty, meaning it has type Any (we check earlier that it's not a formula column)
The info copied is the type, widgetOptions, and reference column settings (visible and display columns) but not conditional formatting.
The changes are mostly in a function `parsePasteForView` which is based on `BaseView._parsePasteForView` but ported to TypeScript in a new file `BaseView2.ts`.
Added a useraction `MaybeCopyDisplayFormula` exposing an existing Python function `maybe_copy_display_formula` because the target column needs a slightly different display formula.
Test Plan: Added a new nbrowser test file and fixture doc.

Summary:
This adds support for gvisor sandboxing in core. When Grist is run outside of a container, regular gvisor can be used (if on linux), and will run in rootless mode. When Grist is run inside a container, docker's default policy is insufficient for running gvisor, so a fork of gvisor is used that has less defence-in-depth but can run without privileges.
Sandboxing is automatically turned on in the Grist core container. It is not turned on automatically when built from source, since it is operating-system dependent.
This diff may break a complex method of testing Grist with gvisor on macs that I may have been the only person using. If anyone complains I'll find time on a mac to fix it :)

This is a fix for a bug discussed in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C069RUP71/p1645138610722889
I still haven't completely wrapped my head around it or figured out how to make a simple reproducible example, but the problem seems to be that a lookup can happen before the column(s) being looked up (the summary helper column in this case) have been computed fully (I think it got interrupted halfway by an OrderError). `do_lookup` would check via `engine._use_node` that the row IDs it found had all been computed already, but there might still be other rows that hadn't been computed yet and would also have values matching the lookup key, so it missed those.
This diff instead calls `_use_node` with no `row_ids` argument, which should ensure that all rows have already been computed.
At first I was worried about how this would affect performance, which led me down an optimisation rabbit hole, hence a bit of unrelated cleanup here and also https://phab.getgrist.com/D3310 . But it doesn't seem to be a problem, and IIUC it should actually make things better, although this code is pretty confusing.

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:
- Removed string parsing and some type guessing code from parse_data.py. That logic is now implicitly done by ValueGuesser by leaving the initial column type as Any. parse_data.py mostly comes into play when importing files (e.g. Excel) containing values that already have types, i.e. numbers and dates.
- 0s and 1s are treated as numbers instead of booleans to keep imports lossless.
- Removed dateguess.py and test_dateguess.py.
- Changed what `guessDateFormat` does when multiple date formats work equally well for the given data, in order to be consistent with the old dateguess.py.
- Columns containing numbers are now always imported as Numeric, never Int.
- Removed `NullIfEmptyParser` because it was interfering with the new system. Its purpose was to avoid pointlessly changing a column from Any to Text when no actual data was inserted. A different solution to that problem was already added to `_ensure_column_accepts_data` in the data engine in a recent related diff.
Test Plan:
- Added 2 `nbrowser/Importer2` tests.
- Updated various existing tests.
- Extended testing of `guessDateFormat`. Added `guessDateFormats` to show how ambiguous dates are handled internally.

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.

The value contains the original raw string (to be used as alt text), the column ID to lookup (typically the visible column) and one or more values to lookup.
For reflists, valueParser now tries parsing the string first as JSON, then as a CSV row, and applies the visible column parsed to each item.
Both ref and reflists columns no longer format the parsed value when there's no matching reference, the original unparsed string is used as alttext instead.

Summary:
This verifies that all existing tests are capable of running under python3/gvisor, and fixes the small issues that came up. It does not yet activate python3 tests on all diffs, only diffs that specifically request them.
* Adds a suffix in test names and output directories for tests run with PYTHON_VERSION=3, so that results of the same test run with and without the flag can be aggregated cleanly.
* Adds support for checkpointing to the gvisor sandbox adapter.
* Prepares a checkpoint made after grist python code has loaded in the gvisor sandbox.
* Changes how `DOC_URL` is passed to the sandbox, since it can no longer be passed in as an environment variable when using checkpoints.
* Uses the checkpoint to speed up tests using the gvisor sandbox, otherwise a lot of tests need more time (especially on mac under docker).
* Directs jenkins to run all tests with python2 and python3 when a new file `buildtools/changelogs/python.txt` is touched (this diff counts as touching that file).
* Tweaks miscellaneous tests
- some needed fixes exposed by slightly different timing
- a small number actually give different results in py3 (removal of `u` prefixes).
- some needed a little more time
The DOC_URL change is not the ultimate solution we want for DOC_URL. Eventually it should be a variable that gets updated, like the date perhaps. This is just a small pragmatic change to preserve existing behavior.
Tests are run mindlessly as py3, and for some tests it won't change anything (e.g. if they do not use NSandbox). Tests are not run in parallel, doubling overall test time.
Checkpoints could be useful in deployment, though this diff doesn't use them there.
The application of checkpoints doesn't check for other configuration like 3-versus-5-pipe that we don't actually use.
Python2 tests run using pynbox as always for now.
The diff got sufficiently bulky that I didn't tackle running py3 on "regular" diffs in it. My preference, given that most tests don't appear to stress the python side of things, would be to make a selection of the tests that do and a few wild cards, and run those tests on both pythons rather then all of them. For diffs making a significant python change, I'd propose touching buildtools/changelogs/python.txt for full tests. But this is a conversation in progress.
A total of 6886 tests ran on this diff.
