Code cleanup and technical improvements
This change restructures how Odoo records timesheets by using the standard analytic line system directly instead of a separate timesheet model. It makes time tracking more consistent across projects, accounting, and invoicing, while removing older task worklog behavior in favor of generic timesheets.
This update reorganizes and modernizes project management code, moving time tracking and progress-related fields into clearer module ownership. It should make project, timesheet, issue, and portal project features easier to maintain while preserving core business workflows.
