The problem here is that making it this optional meant that it wasn't
supplied by [the enterprise creation
function](fb22d94878/ext/app/server/lib/create.ts (L10)).
This resulted in an odd situation where the secret was required for
the enterprise edition, even though it offers no additional security.
Without this key, the enterprise code crashes.
The requirement to supply a secret key would make a Grist instance
crash if you start in normal mode but switch to enterprise, as the
enterprise creator does not supply a default secret key.
Access control for ConvertFromColumn in the presence of access rules had previously been left as a TODO. This change allows the action when the user has schema rights. Because schema rights let you create formulas, they let you read anything, so there is currently no value in nuance here.

I need to be able to read the config at module load time, which makes
async difficult if not impossible.
This will make read config operations synchronous, which is fine. The

Summary:
- Remove unused Form file (Label.ts)
- Fix Firefox-specific bug in Forms, where mouse selection wasn't working in textarea.
- Focus and set cursor in textarea on click.
- Save on blur but only when focus stays within the Grist app, as for editing cells.

This adds a config file that's loaded very early on during startup.
It enables us to save/load settings from within Grist's admin panel, that affect the startup of the FlexServer.
The config file loading:
- Is type-safe,
- Validates the config file on startup
- Provides a path to upgrade to future versions.
It should be extensible from other versions of Grist (such as desktop), by overriding `getGlobalConfig` in stubs.
----
Some minor refactors needed to occur to make this possible. This includes:
- Extracting config loading into its own module (out of FlexServer).
- Cleaning up the `loadConfig` function in FlexServer into `loadLoginSystem` (which is what its main purpose was before).
Summary:
Some editors do some async work before saving the value (Ref column can add new
records). Those actions were send without bundling, so it wasn't possible to undo those
actions with togheter.

Follow-up of #994. This PR revises the session ID generation logic to improve security in the absence of a secure session secret. It also adds a section in the admin panel "security" section to nag system admins when GRIST_SESSION_SECRET is not set.
Following is an excerpt from internal conversation.
TL;DR: Grist's current implementation generates semi-secure session IDs and uses a publicly known default signing key to sign them when the environment variable GRIST_SESSION_SECRET is not set. This PR generates cryptographically secure session IDs to dismiss security concerns around an insecure signing key, and encourages system admins to configure their own signing key anyway.
> The session secret is required by expressjs/session to sign its session IDs. It's designed as an extra protection against session hijacking by randomly guessing session IDs and hitting a valid one. While it is easy to encourage users to set a distinct session secret, this is unnecessary if session IDs are generated in a cryptographically secure way. As of now Grist uses version 4 UUIDs as session IDs (see app/server/lib/gristSessions.ts - it uses shortUUID.generate which invokes uuid.v4 under the hood). These contain 122 bits of entropy, technically insufficient to be considered cryptographically secure. In practice, this is never considered a real vulnerability. To compare, RSA2048 is still very commonly used in web servers, yet it only has 112 bits of security (>=128 bits = "secure", rule of thumb in cryptography). But for peace of mind I propose using crypto.getRandomValues to generate real 128-bit random values. This should render session ID signing unnecessary and hence dismiss security concerns around an insecure signing key.
This adds an endpoint for the admin user to be able to signal to a
controlling process to restart the server. This is intended for
`docker-runner.mjs`.
Summary:
fixSiteProducts was always called with a dry option.
This option was just added for debuging test failure, it should

Test Plan:
Manual.
- on grist core, prepare site with `teamFree` product
- then to recreate run the previous version as
`GRIST_SINGLE_ORG=cool-beans GRIST_DEFAULT_PRODUCT=Free npm start`
- then to confirm it is fixed, run the same command as above
Site should be changed from `teamFree` to `Free`.

The HomeDBManager remains the exposed class to the other parts of the code: any module under gen-server/lib/homedb like UsersManager is intended to be used solely by HomeDBManager, and in order to use their methods, an indirection has to be created to pass through HomeDBManager.

Summary:
After release on 2024-06-12 (1.1.15) the GRIST_DEFAULT_PRODUCT env variable wasn't respected by the
method that started the server in single org mode. In all deployments (apart from saas), the default product
used for new sites is set to `Free`, but the code that starts the server enforced `teamFree` product.
This change adds a fix routine that fixes this issue by rewriting team sites from `teamFree` product to `Free`
product only if:
- The default product is set to `Free`
- The deployment type is something other then 'saas'.
Additionally there is a test that will fail after 2024.10.01, as this fix should be removed before this date.

For grist-core I recreated/confirmed it is fixed it just by `GRIST_SINGLE_ORG=team npm start` in the core folder.
I also created some team sites using stubbed UI and confirmed that they were using the GRIST_DEFAULT_PRODUCT product.

The example key shown on the admin panel to users who are not known to be
administrators is generated using a method that is only available in secure
environments. This adds a fallback for insecure environments. The key is less
solid but again, it is just an example, and for an insecure environment.
Tested manually running locally and using a hostname set in /etc/hosts.
This is a small thing, but when visiting the admin, the websocket test
doesn't send valid JSON, which the receiving endpoint expects. This
results in a harmless exception being thrown.
While this test should eventually be modified to be run from the
frontend, for now let's just make a small fix and send valid JSON in
order to avoid that JSON parsing exception.
