Paul Fitzpatrick e5c24eb5ea (core) revamp user attribute handling
Summary:
This changes how user attributes are loaded.  They are now loaded
directly from sqlite, with per-session caching.  Optimizations
considered but not addressed yet are (1) adding indexes to user attribute
tables and (2) swapping in a thinner sqlite wrapper.

The main benefit of this diff is that changes to user attribute
tables now work.  Clients whose user attributes are not changed
see no effect; clients whose user attributes have changed have
their document reloaded.

For the purposes of testing, the diff includes a tweak to
GristWSConnection to be "sticky" to a specific user when reloading
(and support machinery on the server side to honor that).  Until
now, if a GristWSConnection reloads, it uses whatever the current
default user is in the cookie-based session, which can change.
This was complicating a test where multiple users were accessing
the same document via different clients with occasional document
reloads.

Code for updating when schema or rule changes happen is moved
around but not improved in any meaningful way in this diff.

Test Plan: existing tests pass; extended test
