bd6a54e901 (core) mitigate csrf by requiring custom header for unsafe methods
Summary:
For methods other than `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`, allow cookie-based authentication only if a certain custom header is present.

Specifically, we check that `X-Requested-With` is set to `XMLHttpRequest`. This is somewhat arbitrary, but allows us to use https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#req.xhr.

A request send from a browser that sets a custom header will prompt a preflight check, giving us a chance to check if the origin is trusted.

This diff deals with getting the header in place. There will be more work to do after this:
 * Make sure that all important endpoints are checking origin.  Skimming code, /api endpoint check origin, and some but not all others.
 * Add tests spot-testing origin checks.
 * Check on cases that authenticate differently.
    - Check the websocket endpoint - it can be connected to from an arbitrary site; there is per-doc access control but probably better to lock it down more.
    - There may be old endpoints that authenticate based on knowledge of a client id rather than cookies.

Test Plan: added a test

1654a2681f (core) move client code to core
Summary:
This moves all client code to core, and makes minimal fix-ups to
get grist and grist-core to compile correctly.  The client works
in core, but I'm leaving clean-up around the build and bundles to
follow-up.

Test Plan: existing tests pass; server-dev bundle looks sane

- Add to UserManager a 'Public Access' member-like line for greater visibility
  and to allow changing role.

20d8124f45 (core) support ?embed=true and &style=light for a clean embed experience
Summary:
This adds query parameters useful for tailoring the Grist experience, with an eye to embedding.

Setting `style=light` removes side and top bars, as a first pass at a focused view of a single document page (this would benefit from refining).

Setting `embed=true` has no significant effect just yet other than it restricts document access to viewer at most (this can be overridden by specifying `/m/default`).
