Summary:
Previously in {{D1053}} we switched to using BLOB as the "type" for all columns, to prevent SQLite from casting data unexpectedly. This diff now returns to more meaningful types. We apply marshalling to values when being placed in a column where a cast might occur, to inhibit such casting.
The benefit is that Grist documents become easier to interact with via regular database clients/libraries, which often rely on the column type more than a purely SQLite tool would.
On column type conversion, we run all blobs in the column through a decode/encode cycle so if they no longer need to be marshalled they revert to native type. This could be optimized further, it is somewhat brute force.

* Adds a `SELF_HYPERLINK()` python function, with optional keyword arguments to set a label, the page, and link parameters.
* Adds a `UUID()` python function, since using python's uuid.uuidv4 hits a problem accessing /dev/urandom in the sandbox. UUID makes no particular quality claims since it doesn't use an audited implementation. A difficult to guess code is convenient for some use cases that `SELF_HYPERLINK()` enables.
The canonical URL for a document is mutable, but older versions generally forward. So for implementation simplicity the document url is passed it on sandbox creation and remains fixed throughout the lifetime of the sandbox. This could and should be improved in future.
The URL is passed into the sandbox as a `DOC_URL` environment variable.
The code for creating the URL is factored out of `Notifier.ts`. Since the url is a function of the organization as well as the document, some rejiggering is needed to make that information available to DocManager.
On document imports, the new document is registered in the database slightly earlier now, in order to keep the procedure for constructing the URL in different starting conditions more homogeneous.

This changes how user attributes are loaded. They are now loaded
directly from sqlite, with per-session caching. Optimizations
considered but not addressed yet are (1) adding indexes to user attribute
tables and (2) swapping in a thinner sqlite wrapper.
The main benefit of this diff is that changes to user attribute
tables now work. Clients whose user attributes are not changed
see no effect; clients whose user attributes have changed have
their document reloaded.
For the purposes of testing, the diff includes a tweak to
GristWSConnection to be "sticky" to a specific user when reloading
(and support machinery on the server side to honor that). Until
now, if a GristWSConnection reloads, it uses whatever the current
default user is in the cookie-based session, which can change.
This was complicating a test where multiple users were accessing
the same document via different clients with occasional document
reloads.
