Dmitry S 99ab09651e (core) Implement 'Print widget' option to print individual view sections.
Summary:
- Supports multi-page printing with some aggressive css overrides.
- Relies on a new function implemented by grist-plugin-api to print a
  multi-page CustomView.
- Renders all rows for printing for scrolly-based views.

Test Plan:
Doesn't seem possible to do a selenium test for printing. Tested
manually on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

* Views get a chance to render things specially for printing (which is needed when they use
* scrolly for normal rendering).

* To let an existing view print across multiple pages, we can't have it nested in a flexbox or a

* layout. This is potentially fragile.
