51ff72c15e (core) Faster builds all around.
Summary:
Building:
- Builds no longer wait for tsc for either client, server, or test targets. All use esbuild which is very fast.
- Build still runs tsc, but only to report errors. This may be turned off with `SKIP_TSC=1` env var.
- Grist-core continues to build using tsc.
- Esbuild requires ES6 module semantics. Typescript's esModuleInterop is turned
  on, so that tsc accepts and enforces correct usage.
- Client-side code is watched and bundled by webpack as before (using esbuild-loader)

Code changes:
- Imports must now follow ES6 semantics: `import * as X from ...` produces a
  module object; to import functions or class instances, use `import X from ...`.
- Everything is now built with isolatedModules flag. Some exports were updated for it.

Packages:
- Upgraded browserify dependency, and related packages (used for the distribution-building step).
- Building the distribution now uses esbuild's minification. babel-minify is no longer used.

Test Plan: Should have no behavior changes, existing tests should pass, and docker image should build too.

dd2eadc86e (core) Speed up and upgrade build.
Summary:
- Upgrades to build-related packages:
  - Upgrade typescript, related libraries and typings.
  - Upgrade webpack, eslint; add tsc-watch, node-dev, eslint_d.

- Build organization changes:
  - Build webpack from original typescript, transpiling only; with errors still
    reported by a background tsc watching process.

- Typescript-related changes:
  - Reduce imports of AWS dependencies (very noticeable speedup)
  - Avoid auto-loading global @types
  - Client code is now built with isolatedModules flag (for safe transpilation)
  - Use allowJs to avoid copying JS files manually.

- Linting changes
  - Enhance Arcanist ESLintLinter to run before/after commands, and set up to use eslint_d
  - Update eslint config, and include .eslintignore to avoid linting generated files.
  - Include a bunch of eslint-prompted and eslint-generated fixes
  - Add no-unused-expression rule to eslint, and fix a few warnings about it

- Other items:
  - Refactor cssInput to avoid circular dependency
  - Remove a bit of unused code, libraries, dependencies

Test Plan: No behavior changes, all existing tests pass. There are 30 tests fewer reported because `test_gpath.py` was removed (it's been unused for years)

9fffb491f9 (core) External requests
Summary:
Adds a Python function `REQUEST` which makes an HTTP GET request. Behind the scenes it:

- Raises a special exception to stop trying to evaluate the current cell and just keep the existing value.
- Notes the request arguments which will be returned by `apply_user_actions`.
- Makes the actual request in NodeJS, which sends back the raw response data in a new action `RespondToRequests` which reevaluates the cell(s) that made the request.
- Wraps the response data in a class which mimics the `Response` class of the `requests` library.

In certain cases, this asynchronous flow doesn't work and the sandbox will instead synchronously call an exported JS method:

- When reevaluating a single cell to get a formula error, the request is made synchronously.
- When a formula makes multiple requests, the earlier responses are retrieved synchronously from files which store responses as long as needed to complete evaluating formulas. See https://grist.slack.com/archives/CL1LQ8AT0/p1653399747810139

Test Plan: Added Python and nbrowser tests.

e6983e9209 (core) add machinery for self-managed flavor of Grist
Summary:
Currently, we have two ways that we deliver Grist. One is grist-core,
which has simple defaults and is relatively easy for third parties to
deploy. The second is our internal build for our SaaS, which is the
opposite. For self-managed Grist, a planned paid on-premise version
of Grist, I adopt the following approach:

 * Use the `grist-core` build mechanism, extending it to accept an
   overlay of extra code if present.
 * Extra code is supplied in a self-contained `ext` directory, with
   an `ext/app` directory that is of same structure as core `app`
   and `stubs/app`.
 * The `ext` directory also contains information about extra
   node dependencies needed beyond that of `grist-core`.
 * The `ext` directory is contained within our monorepo rather than
   `grist-core` since it may contain material not under the Apache
   license.

Docker builds are achieved in our monorepo by using the `--build-context`
functionality to add in `ext` during the regular `grist-core` build:

```
docker buildx build --load -t gristlabs/grist-ee --build-context=ext=../ext .
```

Incremental builds in our monorepo are achieved with the `build_core.sh` helper,
like:

```
buildtools/build_core.sh /tmp/self-managed
cd /tmp/self-managed
yarn start
```

The initial `ext` directory contains material for snapshotting to S3.
If you build the docker image as above, and have S3 access, you can
do something like:

```
docker run -p 8484:8484 --env GRIST_SESSION_SECRET=a-secret \
  --env GRIST_DOCS_S3_BUCKET=grist-docs-test \
  --env GRIST_DOCS_S3_PREFIX=self-managed \
  -v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws -it gristlabs/grist-ee
```

This will start a version of Grist that is like `grist-core` but with
S3 snapshots enabled. To release this code to `grist-core`, it would
just need to move from `ext/app` to `app` within core.

I tried a lot of ways of organizing self-managed Grist, and this was
what made me happiest. There are a lot of trade-offs, but here is what
I was looking for:

 * Only OSS-code in grist-core. Adding mixed-license material there
   feels unfair to people already working with the repo. That said,
   a possible future is to move away from our private monorepo to
   a public mixed-licence repo, which could have the same relationship
   with grist-core as the monorepo has.
 * Minimal differences between self-managed builds and one of our
   existing builds, ideally hewing as close to grist-core as possible
   for ease of documentation, debugging, and maintenance.
 * Ideally, docker builds without copying files around (the new
   `--build-context` functionality made that possible).
 * Compatibility with monorepo build.

Expressing dependencies of the extra code in `ext` proved tricky to
do in a clean way. Yarn/npm fought me every step of the way - everything
related to optional dependencies was unsatisfactory in some respect.
Yarn2 is flexible but smells like it might be overreach. In the end,
organizing to install non-core dependencies one directory up from the
main build was a good simple trick that saved my bacon.

This diff gets us to the point of building `grist-ee` images conveniently,
but there isn't a public repo people can go look at to see its source. This
could be generated by taking `grist-core`, adding the `ext` directory
to it, and pushing to a distinct repository. I'm not in a hurry to do that,
since a PR to that repo would be hard to sync with our monorepo and
`grist-core`. Also, we don't have any licensing text ready for the `ext`
directory. So leaving that for future work.

526b0ad33e (core) Configure more comprehensive eslint rules for Typescript
Summary:
- Update rules to be more like we've had with tslint
- Switch tsserver plugin to eslint (tsserver makes for a much faster way to lint in editors)
- Apply suggested auto-fixes
- Fix all lint errors and warnings in core/, app/, test/

Test Plan: Some behavior may change subtly (e.g. added missing awaits), relying on existing tests to catch problems.

c8c5afbbca freshen app/client/ui2018/cssVars.ts
The cssVars.ts file has changed to include some more knobs
for custom theming.  This commit updates the file, and
introduces a `stubs` directory for stubbing code that is
specific to our deployments of Grist and not of general interest.
