Context:
On self-hosted instances, some places in the code rely on the fact that we resolves public domains while being behind reverse proxies. This leads to cases where features are not available, such as the "Duplicate document" one.
Bugs that are solved - n self-hosted instances:
Impossible to open templates and tutorials right after having converted them;
Impossible to submit forms since version 1.1.13;
Impossible to restore a previous version of a document (snapshot);
Impossible to copy a document;
Solution:
Introduce the APP_HOME_INTERNAL_URL env variable, which is quite the same as APP_DOC_INTERNAL_URL except that it may point to any home worker;
Make /api/worker/:assignmentId([^/]+)/?* return not only the doc worker public url but also the internal one, and adapt the call points like fetchDocs;
Ensure that the home and doc worker internal urls are trusted by trustOrigin;

Summary:
This gives a mechanism for controlling access control within a document that is distinct from (though implemented with the same machinery as) granular access rules.
It was hard to find a good way to insert this that didn't dissolve in a soup of complications, so here's what I went with:
* When reading rules, if there are shares, extra rules are added.
* If there are shares, all rules are made conditional on a "ShareRef" user property.
* "ShareRef" is null when a doc is accessed in normal way, and the row id of a share when accessed via a share.
There's no UI for controlling shares (George is working on it for forms), but you can do it by editing a `_grist_Shares` table in a document. Suppose you make a fresh document with a single page/table/widget, then to create an empty share you can do:
```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['AddRecord', '_grist_Shares', null, {linkId: 'xyz', options: '{"publish": true}'}])
```
If you look at the home db now there should be something in the `shares` table:
```
$ sqlite3 -table landing.db "select * from shares"
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| id | key | doc_id | link_id | options |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
| 1 | gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K | 4qYuace1xP2CTcPunFdtan | xyz | ... |
+----+------------------------+------------------------+--------------+---------+
```
If you take the key from that (gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K in this case) and replace the document's urlId in its URL with `s.<key>` (in this case `s.gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K` then you can use the regular document landing page (it will be quite blank initially) or API endpoint via the share.
E.g. for me `http://localhost:8080/o/docs/s0gSL4g38PsyautLHnjmXh2K/share-inter-3` accesses the doc.
To actually share some material - useful commands:
```
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Views_section').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Views_section', 1, {shareOptions: '{"publish": true, "form": true}'}])
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.getMetaTable('_grist_Pages').getRecords()
gristDocPageModel.gristDoc.get().docData.sendAction(['UpdateRecord', '_grist_Pages', 1, {shareRef: 1}])
```
For a share to be effective, at least one page needs to have its shareRef set to the rowId of the share, and at least one widget on one of those pages needs to have its shareOptions set to {"publish": "true", "form": "true"} (meaning turn on sharing, and include form sharing), and the share itself needs {"publish": true} on its options.
I think special shares are kind of incompatible with public sharing, since by their nature (allowing access to all endpoints) they easily expose the docId, and changing that would be hard.

Summary:
Building:
- Builds no longer wait for tsc for either client, server, or test targets. All use esbuild which is very fast.
- Build still runs tsc, but only to report errors. This may be turned off with `SKIP_TSC=1` env var.
- Grist-core continues to build using tsc.
- Esbuild requires ES6 module semantics. Typescript's esModuleInterop is turned
on, so that tsc accepts and enforces correct usage.
- Client-side code is watched and bundled by webpack as before (using esbuild-loader)
Code changes:
- Imports must now follow ES6 semantics: `import * as X from ...` produces a
module object; to import functions or class instances, use `import X from ...`.
- Everything is now built with isolatedModules flag. Some exports were updated for it.
Packages:
- Upgraded browserify dependency, and related packages (used for the distribution-building step).
- Building the distribution now uses esbuild's minification. babel-minify is no longer used.
Test Plan: Should have no behavior changes, existing tests should pass, and docker image should build too.

Summary:
This makes many small changes so that Grist is less fussy to run as a single instance behind a reverse proxy. Some users had difficulty with the self-connections Grist would make, due to internal network setup, and since these are unnecessary in any case in this scenario, they are now optimized away. Likewise some users had difficulties related to doc worker urls, which are now also optimized away. With these changes, users should be able to get a lot further on first try, at least far enough to open and edit documents.
The `GRIST_SINGLE_ORG` setting was proving a bit confusing, since it appeared to only work when set to `docs`. This diff
adds a check for whether the specified org exists, and if not, it creates it. This still depends on having a user email to make as the owner of the team, so there could be remaining difficulties there.

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.

Summary:
Sharing a document with everyone@ was effective at the api level,
but had two flaws in the web client:
* A logged in user with no access at the org level could not access
a publically shared doc within that org.
* Likewise, for the anonymous user (but for a different reason).
This diff tweaks the web client to permit accessing a doc when
org information is unavailable.
It also changes how redirects happen for the anonymous user when
accessing a doc. They now only happen once it has been confirmed
that the user does not have access to the doc.
