Summary:
Adds a new interface `FetchSelectedOptions` with three keys (including the preexisting `keepEncoded`) and adds/updates an optional `options: FetchSelectedOptions` to six related functions which fetch data from the selected table or record. The `keepEncoded` and `format` options have different default values for different methods for backwards compatibility, but otherwise the different methods now have much more similar behaviour. The new `includeColumns` option allows fetching all columns which was previously only possible using `docApi.fetchTable` (which wasn't always a great alternative) but this requires full access to avoid exposing more data than before and violating user expectations.
Eventually, similar options should be added to `docApi.fetchTable` to make the API even more consistent.

Test Plan: Added a new nbrowser test with a corresponding fixture site and document, showing how the functions have different default option values but are all configurable now.

Summary:
Adding a new method `setCursorPos` in the widget API, and a new configuration option for the ready message `allowSelectBy` that exposes custom widgets in the `Select by` dropdown.
With this, a custom widget can control the position of the linked widgets and is able to change the column in the creator panel.
Test Plan: Added new test. Existing tests should pass.

Summary:
This extends the getAccessToken documentation so it can be picked
up by typedoc and published, and makes a few other tweaks along
the way prompted by a typescript/typedoc version change.

Summary:
With this, a custom widget can render an attachment by doing:
```
const tokenInfo = await grist.docApi.getAccessToken({readOnly: true});
const img = document.getElementById('the_image');
const id = record.C[0]; // get an id of an attachment
const src = `${tokenInfo.baseUrl}/attachments/${id}/download?auth=${tokenInfo.token}`;
img.setAttribute('src', src)
```
The access token expires after a few mins, so if a user right-clicks on an image
to save it, they may get access denied unless they refresh the page. A little awkward,
but s3 pre-authorized links behave similarly and it generally isn't a deal-breaker.

This annotates the plugin api sufficiently to generate some documentation
for it. See https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-help/pull/139
Contains some small code tweaks for things that caused typedoc some
trouble.

Summary: This makes an equivalent of the /records REST endpoint available within custom widgets. For simple operations, it is compatible with https://github.com/airtable/airtable.js/. About half of the diff is refactoring code from DocApi that implements /records using applyUserActions, to make that code available in the plugin api.

Summary:
This simplifies writing custom widgets that access selected
data. To access the record at which the cursor is set, and
get any future changes to it as the cursor moves or data
changes, it suffices now to do:
```
grist.ready();
grist.onRecord(record => /* render */);
```
Similarly to access the set of selected records, and get any
changes, it suffices now to do:
```
grist.ready();
grist.onRecords(records => /* render */);
```
The `records` argument will be a list of objects, each of which
is a single record. This is distinct from the column-based
representation favored in Grist up ontil now. That remains
how methods like `fetchTable` or `fetchSelectedTable` represent
their results. In the future, methods named like `fetchRecords`
or `fetchSelectedRecords` could be added that return lists.
