A set of tweaks to simplify electron packaging (#421)
* Replace `ormconfig.js` with a newer mechanism of configuring
    TypeORM that can be included in the source code properly.
    The path to `ormconfig.js` has always been awkward to handle,
    and eliminating the file makes building different Grist setups
    a bit simpler.
  * Remove `electron` package. It is barely used, just for some old
    remnants of an older attempt at electron packaging. It was used
    for two types, which I left at `any` for now. More code pruning is
    no doubt possible here, but I'd rather do it when Electron packaging
    has solidified.
  * Add a hook for replacing the login system, and for adding some
    extra middleware the login system may need.
  * Add support for some more possible locations of Python, which
    arise when a standalone version of it is included in the Electron
    package. This isn't very general purpose, just configurations
    that I found useful.
  * Support using grist-core within a yarn workspace - the only tweak
    needed was webpack related.
  * Allow an external ID to be optionally associated with documents.

4c678f12cb (core) dust off electron build a little bit
Summary:
The changes in this diff are sufficient to make this sequence work again:

```
./build electron-dev
bin/electron app/electron/runPrebuild.js
```

This brings up the local server within an electron window.

This is an unambitious diff, aimed at checking how rusty electron support had become. It does not revive Grist as a packaged electron app. The first substantial work needed would be to make the app aware of the local file system again, and think through how local files should be visualized and accessed now. In the past, there was a simple list of grist docs in a directory.

Test Plan: manual

51ff72c15e (core) Faster builds all around.
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.

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
