e1780e4f58 (core) Migrate import code from data engine to Node
Summary:
Finishing imports now occurs in Node instead of the
data engine, which makes it possible to import into
on-demand tables. Merging code was also refactored
and now uses a SQL query to diff source and destination
tables in order to determine what to update or add.

Also fixes a bug where incremental imports involving
Excel files with multiple sheets would fail due to the UI
not serializing merge options correctly.

Test Plan: Browser tests.

8a7edb6257 (core) Enable incremental imports
Summary:
The import dialog now has an option to 'Update existing records',
which when checked will allow for selection of 1 or more fields
to match source and destination tables on.

If all fields match, then the matched record in the
destination table will be merged with the incoming record
from the source table. This means the incoming values will
replace the destination table values, unless the incoming
values are blank.

Additional merge strategies are implemented in the data
engine, but the import dialog only uses one of the
strategies currently. The others can be exposed in the UI
in the future, and tweak the behavior of how source
and destination values should be merged in different contexts,
such as when blank values exist.

Test Plan: Python and browser tests.

5ef889addd (core) move home server into core
Summary: This moves enough server material into core to run a home server.  The data engine is not yet incorporated (though in manual testing it works when ported).

Test Plan: existing tests pass
