Summary:
Importing a .grist document is implemented in a somewhat clunky way, in a multi-worker setup.
* First a random worker receives the upload, and updates Grist's various stores appropriately (database, redis, s3).
* Then a random worker is assigned to serve the document.
If the worker serving the document fails, there is a chance the it will end up assigned to the worker that handled its upload. Currently the worker will misbehave in this case. This diff:
* Ports a multi-worker test from test/home to run in test/s3, and adds a test simulating a bad scenario seen in the wild.
* Fixes persistence of any existing document checksum in redis when a worker is assigned.
* Adds a check when assigned a document to serve, and finding that document already cached locally. It isn't safe to rely only on the document checksum in redis, since that may have expired.
* Explicitly claims the document on the uploading worker, so this situation becomes even less likely to arise.

Summary:
With this diff, when a user opens a Grist document in a browser, they will be able to view its contents without waiting for the data engine to start up. Once the data engine starts, it will run a calculation and send any updates made. Changes to the document will be blocked until the engine is started and the initial calculation is complete.
The increase in responsiveness is useful in its own right, and also reduces the impact of an extra startup time in a candidate next-generation sandbox.
A small unrelated fix is included for `core/package.json`, to catch up with a recent change to `package.json`.
A small `./build schema` convenience is added to just rebuild the typescript schema file.
Test Plan: added test; existing tests pass - small fixes needed in some cases because of new timing

Summary:
This removes the need for any information drawn from the content of recent actions when loading a document.
The undo/redo system does need some facts about recent actions up front. But that system has an important restriction: only actions a particular client is known to have generated can be undone by that client.
So in this diff, as we store which client has performed an action, we also store the few pieces of metadata about that action that the undo/redo system needs: `linkId`, `otherId`, `rowIdHint`, `isUndo` fields. These are all small integers (or in one case a boolean).
An existing limitation is that information about which client has performed which action is stored in memory in the worker, and not persisted anywhere. This diff does not change that limitation, meaning that undos continue to not survive a worker transition. A reasonable way to deal with that would be to back the store with redis.

Summary:
This tweaks pre-fork mode to make the user's experience a bit more seamless.
Pre-fork mode is where the user has opened a document with intent to
fork it, but actual forking (with allocation of a new document id)
is postponed until they make their first change.
The tweak makes the user an owner for granular access purposes, if
forking is permitted. So data visible only to owners because of
access rules will be visible to them. As always, any edits would
go to a separate new copy.
A remaining tricky corner is what to do about "View As" functionality
on forks. Fork sharing cannot be controlled, so the "Users -> View As"
functionality isn't available. Perhaps the "Users" button on a fork
could encourage doing a save-copy and inviting users, or offer some
dummy users? In any case, this diff doesn't change anything with
that corner.

This applies some mitigations suggested by SQLite authors when
opening untrusted SQLite databases, as we do when Grist docs
are uploaded by the user. See:
https://www.sqlite.org/security.html#untrusted_sqlite_database_files
Steps implemented in this diff are:
* Setting `trusted_schema` to off
* Running a SQLite-level integrity check on uploads
Other steps will require updates to our node-sqlite3 fork, since they
are not available via the node-sqlite3 api (one more reason to migrate
to better-sqlite3).
I haven't yet managed to create a file that triggers an integrity
check failure without also being detected as corruption by sqlite
at a more basic level, so that is a TODO for testing.

Summary:
* 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.

Summary:
This allows a fork to be made by a user if:
* That user is an owner of the document being forked, or
* That user has full read access to the document being forked.
The bulk of the diff is reorganization of how forking is done. ActiveDoc.fork is now responsible for creating a fork, not just a docId/urlId for the fork. Since fork creation should not be limited to the doc worker hosting the trunk, a helper endpoint is added for placing the fork.
The change required sanitizing worker allocation a bit, and allowed session knowledge to be removed from HostedStorageManager.

Summary:
Adds an "enter safe mode" option and explanation in modal that appears when a document fails to load, if user is owner. If "enter safe mode" is selected, document is reloaded on server in a special mode. Currently, the only difference is that if the acl rules fail to load, they are replaced with a fallback that grants full access to owners and no access to anyone else. An extra tag is shown to mark the document as safe mode, with an "x" for cancelling safe mode.
There are other ways a document could fail to load than just acl rules, so this is just a start.

This allows, for example, sending links to a document that contain
a hard-to-guess token, and having that link grant access to a
controlled part of the document (invoices for a specific customer
for example).
A `user.Origin` field is also added, set during rest api calls,
but is only tested manually at this point. It could be elaborated
for embedding use-cases.

* label migration snapshots in s3 metadata.
* avoid pruning migration snapshots for a month.
Opportunistic changes:
* Associate document timezone with snapshots, so pruning can respect timezones.
* Associate actionHash/Num with snapshots.
* Record time of last change in snapshots (rather than just s3 upload time, which could be a while later).
This ended up being a biggish change, because there was nowhere ideal to put tags (list of possibilities in diff).

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.
