Summary:
Occasionally, while the versions of a document are being enumerated,
a new version of the document will be created. This is detected and
triggers re-enumeration and a "surprise" log message. This diff
tweaks uploads to be run in series with DocSnapshots operations.
This means that listing versions would be blocked on an upload, or
vice versa, rather than overlapping. This is simpler and more deterministic.
I'm not sure how the user experience will feel if the operations
are slow.
Test Plan: existing tests pass; will see if surprises are reduced

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:
If an external store fails completely, Grist will continue to
retry uploading to it. This diff updated the HostedStorageManager
test to limit the extent of these retries to the test itself -
otherwise they continue for all other tests in the same process,
potentially disrupting those that read logs. There are other tests
that use s3, but they aren't run in the same process with delicate
log-reading tests, and it isn't quite as clear what improvement
to make there.
Test Plan:
artificially made external store fail, and checked that
test contamination seen previously no longer occurs.

Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:
* Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
overlay of extra code if present.
* Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
and `stubs/app`.
* The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
* The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
`grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
license.
Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:
```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```
Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:
```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```
The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:
```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
--env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
-v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```
This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.
I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:
* Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
with grist-core as the monorepo has.
* Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
* Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
`--build-context` functionality made that possible).
* Compatibility with monorepo build.
Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.
This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.

Summary:
Adds a new implementation of the interface ExternalStorage that works for Azure Blob Storage as an alternative to S3, for a specific self-hosting case.
Tweaks HostedStorageManager and ICreate to allow configuring different core implementations of ExternalStorage.
Followup tasks:
- Make this code available to self hosters, possibly by making it open source.
- Add an env var or other config option to specify the preferred type of storage. Currently using the var `AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING` to know how to connect to Azure when requested, but that choice still only lives in test code.
Test Plan: Generalized HostedStorageManager and ExternalStorage tests to test the new AzureExternalStorage alongside S3ExternalStorage. The HostedStorageManager tests also now test the 'cached' in-memory test storage in a way that's closer to the real storage methods.

Summary:
- Add a method `getSnapshotWindow` to `IInventory` and `DocSnapshotInventory`. It returns a `SnapshotWindow`, which represents a duration of time for which we keep backups for a particular document.
- `DocSnapshotPruner` calls this method and passes the window to `shouldKeepSnapshots` to determine which document versions have fallen outside the window and should be pruned.
- The implementation passed to `DocSnapshotInventory` uses a new method `getDocProduct` in `HomeDBManager` which directly returns the `Product` associated with a document, given only the document ID. Other methods in `HomeDBManager` require passing more information, especially about a user, but `DocSnapshotPruner` only knows about document IDs.
Test Plan: Added a test for `getDocProduct` and a test for `DocSnapshotPruner` where `getSnapshotWindow` is specified.

Summary:
Importing a .grist document is implemented in a somewhat clunky way, in a multi-worker setup.
* First a random worker receives the upload, and updates Grist's various stores appropriately (database, redis, s3).
* Then a random worker is assigned to serve the document.
If the worker serving the document fails, there is a chance the it will end up assigned to the worker that handled its upload. Currently the worker will misbehave in this case. This diff:
* Ports a multi-worker test from test/home to run in test/s3, and adds a test simulating a bad scenario seen in the wild.
* Fixes persistence of any existing document checksum in redis when a worker is assigned.
* Adds a check when assigned a document to serve, and finding that document already cached locally. It isn't safe to rely only on the document checksum in redis, since that may have expired.
* Explicitly claims the document on the uploading worker, so this situation becomes even less likely to arise.

This allows a fork to be made by a user if:
* That user is an owner of the document being forked, or
* That user has full read access to the document being forked.
The bulk of the diff is reorganization of how forking is done. ActiveDoc.fork is now responsible for creating a fork, not just a docId/urlId for the fork. Since fork creation should not be limited to the doc worker hosting the trunk, a helper endpoint is added for placing the fork.
The change required sanitizing worker allocation a bit, and allowed session knowledge to be removed from HostedStorageManager.

Summary:
This fixes a two problems:
* A mistake in `KeyedMutex.runExclusive`.
* Logic about saving a document to s3 when the document is found to match what is already there.
`HostedStorageManager.flushDoc` could get caught in a loop if a document was uploaded to s3 and then, without any change to it, marked as dirty. Low level code would detect there was no change and skip the upload; but then the snapshotId could be unknown, causing an error and retries. This diff fixes that problem by discovering the snapshotId on downloads and tracking it. It also corrects a mutex problem that may have been creating the scenario. A small delay is added to `flushDoc` to mitigate the effect of similar problems in future. Exponential backoff would be good, but `flushDoc` is called in some situations where long delays would negatively impact worker shutdown or user work.

Opportunistic changes:
* Associate document timezone with snapshots, so pruning can respect timezones.
* Associate actionHash/Num with snapshots.
* Record time of last change in snapshots (rather than just s3 upload time, which could be a while later).
This ended up being a biggish change, because there was nowhere ideal to put tags (list of possibilities in diff).
