bf271c822b (core) Copy column type and options when pasting into an empty column
Summary:
Adds a `data-grist-col-ref` attribute to the copied HTML, then uses that when pasting to look up the source column and retrieve info about it. Copies the info into the target column if:

- The document is the same (the docId hash matches)
- The source column still exists and has the same type as when copied
- The source type isn't Text, because in that case it's nice if type guessing still happens
- The target column is empty, meaning it has type Any (we check earlier that it's not a formula column)

The info copied is the type, widgetOptions, and reference column settings (visible and display columns) but not conditional formatting.

The changes are mostly in a function `parsePasteForView` which is based on `BaseView._parsePasteForView` but ported to TypeScript in a new file `BaseView2.ts`.

Added a useraction `MaybeCopyDisplayFormula` exposing an existing Python function `maybe_copy_display_formula` because the target column needs a slightly different display formula.

Test Plan: Added a new nbrowser test file and fixture doc.

8f531ef622 (core) Reference and ReferenceList formatters
Summary:
Previously, ref/reflist columns were formatted entirely based on their visible column, since they received values from the visible or display columns rather than the actual row IDs. This creates `ReferenceFormatter` and `ReferenceListFormatter` which still delegate most of the formatting work to a visible column formatter but fix a few issues:

- ReferenceList columns now actually use the options (e.g. date format) of the visible column to format their elements. Previously they were formatted generically because the visible column formatter wasn't expecting a list.
- Invalid references aren't formatted with an `#Invalid Ref` prefix.
- When the ref column displays the Row ID, it doesn't have a visible or display column. Previously this led to the references being formatted as just numbers in most cases, with special code in the widget to display them like `Table1[2]`. Now they are consistently formatted in that style throughout.

Test Plan: Updated existing tests.

c470c4041b (core) Use visibleCol instead of displayCol with createFormatter
Summary:
Some things (like rendering cells) use the `visibleCol` for `createFormatter`, while other things (like `CopySelection`) used the `displayCol`. For references, the display column has type Any and doesn't know about the original formatting. This resulted in formatting being lost when copying from reference columns even though formatting was preserved when copying from the original (visible) column which looked identical. This diff fixes this and ensures that `createFormatter` is always used with the `visibleCol`. This was agreed on in https://grist.slack.com/archives/C0234CPPXPA/p1639571321043000

Additionally:

- Replaces the functions `createVisibleColFormatter` computed properties `visibleColFormatter` as suggested by a `TODO`.
- Extracts common code from `createVisibleColFormatter` in `ColumnRec` and `ViewFieldRec`

Test Plan: Fixed a test in CopyPaste which displayed the previous inconsistent behaviour.

- This should make these easier to work with and make changes to.
- Removes one unused method.

Test Plan: No changes of behavior, existing tests should pass.
