bd52665f96 (core) Allow adding rows to widgets filtered by a link using a formula column
Summary:
When a widget `A` is selected by a widget `B` so that `A` is filtered, adding a new row to `A` uses the values in the selected row of `B` and the columns relevant to the linking as default values for the new row. This ensures that the new row matches the current linking filter and remains visible. However this would previously cause a sandbox error when one of the linking columns was a formula column, which doesn't allow setting values. This diff ignores formula columns when picking default values.

Since the value of the formula column in the new row typically won't match the linking filter, extra measures are needed to avoid the new row immediately disappearing. Regular filters already have a mechanism for this, but I didn't manage to extend it to also work for linking. Thanks @dsagal for creating `UnionRowSource` (originally in D4017) which is now used as the solution for temporarily exempting rows from both kinds of filtering.

While testing, I also came across another bug in linking summary tables that caused incorrect filtering, which I fixed with some changes to `DynamicQuerySet`.

Test Plan: Extended an nbrowser test, which both tests for the main change as well as the secondary bugfix.

bf271c822b (core) Copy column type and options when pasting into an empty column
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.
