[IMP] mail: add who created the activity

CoremastermailMEDIUM

Activities in the mail app now show who created them, giving users clearer context about follow-ups and assigned work. This helps teams understand where an activity came from without needing to investigate separately.

[IMP] base_import: binary data should be imported through the url.

PR #17375

Coremasterbase_importMEDIUM

Users can now import images by placing image web links in import files instead of manually uploading each image or embedding large encoded data. This makes product catalog setup and e-commerce synchronization easier, though imports may take longer because each image is downloaded during the process.

[IMP] mail: activity alert

PR #25479

CoremastermailMEDIUM

Activities can now be visually highlighted when they need extra attention, using warning or error-style alert backgrounds. This helps users quickly identify important actions among regular notes and tasks.

Original PR description

In some case, we want to have a different style for
activity that requires more attention for the user.
Indeed, in some case, the system can create an alert
for the user.
This commit introduces a decoration option on the
activity type (note or warning). The warning will
be display as an alert (yellow background).
It also provides a generic alert type.
