Full Release Notes

## What's Changed
* Python 2 support has been completely removed from Grist. In rare situations, existing documents using Python 2 formulas may need to be migrated to Python 3. 
* Grist now automatically checks for upgrades by default on the `gristlabs/grist` and `gristlabs/grist-ee` Docker images.
* `HTTPS_PROXY` and `GRIST_PROXY_FOR_UNTRUSTED_URLS` have replaced the  former `GRIST_HTTPS_PROXY` environment variable. The `HTTPS_PROXY`  variable is for trusted requests and  `GRIST_PROXY_FOR_UNTRUSTED_URLS` is for untrusted URLs. Consult  [their  description](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core#environment-variables) for further details.
* Various translations and bug fixes.
