[ADD] convenience res_users._is_admin

Coremasteraccountbase_import_modulegoogle_calendargoogle_drivesale_stockbase

This change adds a shared way to determine whether a user is an administrator, covering both the superadmin and ERP manager cases. It reduces duplicated checks across several areas and helps prevent inconsistent access behavior in future changes.

Original PR description

Checks that the provided user (or user in the provided dataset):
- is the superadmin
- or is a member of group_erp_manager

There are a number of hand-rolled "is_admin" checks in the codebase some
of which are fairly gnarly. The shortcut provides a single point of
contact, avoids forgetting about cases (e.g. SUPERUSER_ID) and is
relatively convenient when checking a user which is not the "current"
user.
