Summary:
Fixes a problem reported here: https://community.getgrist.com/t/exporting-the-records-in-a-linked-view/2556/4
The download CSV/Excel link now contains an additional `linkingFilter` URL parameter containing JSON-encoded `filters` and `operations`. This object is originally created in the frontend in `LinkingState`, and previously it was only used internally in the frontend. It would make its way via `QuerySetManager` to `QuerySet.getFilterFunc` where the actual filtering logic happened. Now most of that logic has been moved to a similar function in `common`. The new function works with a new interface `ColumnGettersByColId` which abstract over the different ways data is accessed in the client and server in this context. There's no significant new logic in the diff, just refactoring and wiring.
Test Plan: Expanded two `nbrowser/SelectBy*.ts` test suites to also check the contents of a downloaded CSV in different linking scenarios.

Summary:
- Excel exports were awfully memory-inefficient, causing occasional docWorker
crashes. The fix is to use the "streaming writer" option of ExcelJS
https://github.com/exceljs/exceljs#streaming-xlsx-writercontents. (Empirically
on one example, max memory went down from 3G to 100M)
- It's also CPU intensive and synchronous, and can block node for tens of
seconds. The fix is to use a worker-thread. This diff uses "piscina" library
for a pool of threads.
- Additionally, adds ProcessMonitor that logs memory and cpu usage,
particularly when those change significantly.
- Also introduces request cancellation, so that a long download cancelled by
the user will cancel the work being done in the worker thread.
Test Plan:
Updated previous export tests; memory and CPU performance tested
manually by watching output of ProcessMonitor.
Difference visible in these log excerpts:
Before (total time to serve request 22 sec):
```
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=2187, heapTotalMB=2234, cpuAverage=1.13, intervalMs=17911
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=2188, heapTotalMB=2234, cpuAverage=0.66, intervalMs=5005
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=2188, heapTotalMB=2234, cpuAverage=0, intervalMs=5005
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=71, heapTotalMB=75, cpuAverage=0.13, intervalMs=5002
```
After (total time to server request 18 sec):
```
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=109, heapTotalMB=144, cpuAverage=0.5, intervalMs=5001
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=109, heapTotalMB=144, cpuAverage=1.39, intervalMs=5002
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=94, heapTotalMB=131, cpuAverage=1.13, intervalMs=5000
Telemetry processMonitor heapUsedMB=94, heapTotalMB=131, cpuAverage=1.35, intervalMs=5001
```
Note in "Before" that heapTotalMB goes up to 2GB in the first case, and "intervalMs" of 17 seconds indicates that node was unresponsive for that long. In the second case, heapTotalMB stays low, and the main thread remains responsive the whole time.

Summary:
- When importing into a Ref column, use lookupOne() formula for correct previews.
- When selecting columns to import into a Ref column, now a Numeric column like
'Order' will produce two options: "Order" and "Order (as row ID)".
- Fixes exports to correct the formatting of visible columns. This addresses multiple bugs:
1. Formatting wasn't used, e.g. a Ref showing a custom-formatted date was still presented as YYYY-MM-DD in CSVs.
2. Ref showing a Numeric column was formatted as if a row ID (e.g. `Table1[1.5]`), which is very wrong.
- If importing into a table that doesn't have a primary view, don't switch page after import.
Refactorings:
- Generalize GenImporterView to be usable in more cases; removed near-duplicated logic from node side
- Some other refactoring in importing code.
- Fix field/column option selection in ValueParser
- Add NUM() helper to turn integer-valued floats into ints, useful for "as row ID" lookups.
Test Plan: Added test cases for imports into reference columns, updated Exports test fixtures.

Summary:
for users who don't automatically have deep rights
to the document, provide them with attachment metadata only
for rows they have access to. This is a little tricky to
do efficiently. We provide attachment metadata when an
individual table is fetched, rather than on initial document
load, so we don't block that load on a full document scan.
We provide attachment metadata to a client when we see that
we are shipping rows mentioning particular attachments,
without making any effort to keep track of the metadata they
already have.
Test Plan: updated tests

XLSX export of active view / table
Co-authored-by: Louis Delbosc <louis.delbosc.prestataire@anct.gouv.fr>
Co-authored-by: Vincent Viers <vincent.viers@beta.gouv.fr>
Summary:
- The issue manifested as error "Cannot read property '0' of undefined" in some
cases, and as "Blocked by table read access rules" in others (instead of
limiting output to what's not blocked)
- Goes deeper: exports weren't respecting metadata censoring.
- The fix changes exports to use censored metadata, which addresses both errors above.
- Includes an improvement to column ordering in XLSX exports.
Test Plan: Add a server test for CSV and XLSX exports with access rules

Use MetaTableData, MetaRowRecord, and getMetaTable in more places.
Test Plan: Mostly it just has to compile. Tested manually that types are being checked more strictly now, e.g. by adding a typo to property names. Some type casting has also been removed.

Existing filters are now moved out of fields
and into a new metadata table for filters, and the
client is updated to retrieve/update/save filters from

- Sort menu has a new option "More sort options" that opens up Sort left menu
- Each sort entry has an additional menu with 3 options
-- Order by choice index (for the Choice column, orders by choice position)
-- Empty last (puts empty values last in ascending order, first in descending order)
-- Natural sort (for Text column, compares strings with numbers as numbers)

Most of the changes in this diff is a sort expression refactoring. Pulling out all the methods

Summary:
* Moves essential plugins to grist-core, so that basic imports (e.g. csv) work.
* Adds support for a `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR` flag that can systematically override how the data engine is run.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=pynbox` is "classic" nacl-based sandbox.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=docker` runs engines in individual docker containers. It requires an image specified in `sandbox/docker` (alternative images can be named with `GRIST_SANDBOX` flag - need to contain python and engine requirements). It is a simple reference implementation for sandboxing.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=unsandboxed` runs whatever local version of python is specified by a `GRIST_SANDBOX` flag directly, with no sandboxing. Engine requirements must be installed, so an absolute path to a python executable in a virtualenv is easiest to manage.
- `GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=gvisor` runs the data engine via gvisor's runsc. Experimental, with implementation not included in grist-core. Since gvisor runs on Linux only, this flavor supports wrapping the sandboxes in a single shared docker container.
* Tweaks some recent express query parameter code to work in grist-core, which has a slightly different version of express (smoke test doesn't catch this since in Jenkins core is built within a workspace that has node_modules, and wires get crossed - in a dev environment the problem on master can be seen by doing `buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/any_path_outside_grist`).
The new sandbox options do not have tests yet, nor does this they change the behavior of grist servers today. They are there to clean up and consolidate a collection of patches I've been using that were getting cumbersome, and make it easier to run experiments.
I haven't looked closely at imports beyond core.
Test Plan: tested manually against regular grist and grist-core, including imports
