Summary:
With this change, if a comment is added to an ACL formula, then that comment will be offered to the user if access is denied and that rule could potentially have granted access.
The code is factored so that when access is permitted, or when partially visible tables are being filtered, there is little overhead. Comments are gathered only when an explicit denial of access.
Test Plan: added tests, updated tests

Summary:
- Add a /welcome/info endpoint, to serve a page after /welcome/user
- Add a new forms module to factor out the styles that feel more natural for a web form.
- Simplify form submission using JSON with a BaseAPI helper.
- The POST submission to /welcome/info gets added to a Grist doc, using a
specialPermit grant to gain access. A failure (e.g. missing doc) is logged
but does not affect the user.
Test Plan: Added a test case.

Summary:
For methods other than `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`, allow cookie-based authentication only if a certain custom header is present.
Specifically, we check that `X-Requested-With` is set to `XMLHttpRequest`. This is somewhat arbitrary, but allows us to use https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#req.xhr.
A request send from a browser that sets a custom header will prompt a preflight check, giving us a chance to check if the origin is trusted.
This diff deals with getting the header in place. There will be more work to do after this:
* Make sure that all important endpoints are checking origin. Skimming code, /api endpoint check origin, and some but not all others.
* Add tests spot-testing origin checks.
* Check on cases that authenticate differently.
- Check the websocket endpoint - it can be connected to from an arbitrary site; there is per-doc access control but probably better to lock it down more.
- There may be old endpoints that authenticate based on knowledge of a client id rather than cookies.

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
