Summary:
This is a prototype for expanding the conditions that can be used in granular ACLs.
When processing ACLs, the following variables (called "characteristics") are now available in conditions:
* UserID
* Email
* Name
* Access (owners, editors, viewers)
The set of variables can be expanded by adding a "characteristic" clause. This is a clause which specifies:
* A tableId
* The name of an existing characteristic
* A colId
The effect of the clause is to expand the available characteristics with all the columns in the table, with values taken from the record where there is a match between the specified characteristic and the specified column.
Existing clauses are generalized somewhat to demonstrate and test the use these variables. That isn't the main point of this diff though, and I propose to leave generalizing+systematizing those clauses for a future diff.
Issues I'm not dealing with here:
* How clauses combine. (The scope on GranularAccessRowClause is a hack to save me worrying about that yet).
* The full set of matching methods we'll allow.
* Refreshing row access in clients when the tables mentioned in characteristic tables change.
* Full CRUD permission control.
* Default rules (part of combination).
* Reporting errors in access rules.
That said, with this diff it is possible to e.g. assign a City to editors by their email address or name, and have only rows for those Cities be visible in their client. Ability to modify those rows, and remain updates about them, remains under incomplete control.

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 makes the user's role (owner/editor/viewer) available in ActiveDoc methods. No use of that information is made yet, other than to log it. The bulk of the diff is getting a handle on the various ways the methods can be called, and systematizing it a bit more. In passing, access control is added to broadcasts of document changes, so users who no longer have access to a document do not receive changes if they still have the document open.
Test Plan: existing tests pass; test for broadcast access control added

Summary:
Sharing a document with everyone@ was effective at the api level,
but had two flaws in the web client:
* A logged in user with no access at the org level could not access
a publically shared doc within that org.
* Likewise, for the anonymous user (but for a different reason).
This diff tweaks the web client to permit accessing a doc when
org information is unavailable.
It also changes how redirects happen for the anonymous user when
accessing a doc. They now only happen once it has been confirmed
that the user does not have access to the doc.

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).
