Alex Hall 4e67c679b2 (core) Options for plugin API functions which fetch data from the selected table or record ...

Summary:
Adds a new interface `FetchSelectedOptions` with three keys (including the preexisting `keepEncoded`) and adds/updates an optional `options: FetchSelectedOptions` to six related functions which fetch data from the selected table or record. The `keepEncoded` and `format` options have different default values for different methods for backwards compatibility, but otherwise the different methods now have much more similar behaviour. The new `includeColumns` option allows fetching all columns which was previously only possible using `docApi.fetchTable` (which wasn't always a great alternative) but this requires full access to avoid exposing more data than before and violating user expectations.

Eventually, similar options should be added to `docApi.fetchTable` to make the API even more consistent.

Test Plan: Added a new nbrowser test with a corresponding fixture site and document, showing how the functions have different default option values but are all configurable now.
