bc3a472324 (core) Implement new representation of ACL rules.
Summary:
- Added fields to _grist_ACLRules for the new Granular ACL representation
- Include a corresponding migration.

- Added ACLPermissions module with merging PermissionSets and converting to/from string.
- Implemented parsing of ACL formulas and compiling them into JS functions.
- Add automatic parsing of ACL formulas when ACLRules are added or updated.
- Convert GranularAccess to load and interpret new-style rules.
- Convert ACL UI to load and save new-style rules.

For now, no attempt to do anything better on the server or UI side, only to
reproduce previous behavior.

Test Plan: Added unittests for new files; fixed those for existing files.

c879393a8e (core) support adding user characteristic tables for granular ACLs
Summary:
This is a prototype for expanding the conditions that can be used in granular ACLs.

When processing ACLs, the following variables (called "characteristics") are now available in conditions:
 * UserID
 * Email
 * Name
 * Access (owners, editors, viewers)

The set of variables can be expanded by adding a "characteristic" clause.  This is a clause which specifies:
 * A tableId
 * The name of an existing characteristic
 * A colId
The effect of the clause is to expand the available characteristics with all the columns in the table, with values taken from the record where there is a match between the specified characteristic and the specified column.

Existing clauses are generalized somewhat to demonstrate and test the use these variables. That isn't the main point of this diff though, and I propose to leave generalizing+systematizing those clauses for a future diff.

Issues I'm not dealing with here:
 * How clauses combine.  (The scope on GranularAccessRowClause is a hack to save me worrying about that yet).
 * The full set of matching methods we'll allow.
 * Refreshing row access in clients when the tables mentioned in characteristic tables change.
 * Full CRUD permission control.
 * Default rules (part of combination).
 * Reporting errors in access rules.

That said, with this diff it is possible to e.g. assign a City to editors by their email address or name, and have only rows for those Cities be visible in their client. Ability to modify those rows, and remain updates about them, remains under incomplete control.

Test Plan: added tests

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
