[IMP] account: reorganise settings

Coremasteraccountsnailmail_accountMEDIUM

The accounting settings page has been reorganized so invoicing options appear first and accounting options are grouped more clearly. This makes it easier for users to find customer invoice sending defaults and vendor bill settings without navigating mixed sections.

Original PR description

Task 1906794

Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses:

Current behavior before PR:
accounting settings are messy, with invoice & accounting settings mixed up

Desired behavior after PR is merged:
- restructure with Invoicing options first, then Accounting stuff
- move default sending options into "Customer Invoices" section, as first option
- new common section for vendor bill options

[IMP] sign: set default _rec_name as name field is often 'False'

PR #3372

Enterprisemastersign

Signing-related records now show a more meaningful person-based label instead of often appearing blank or as “False.” This makes it easier for users to identify the right signing record when selecting or reviewing documents.

Original PR description

By default a module uses the field `name` for showing the value of a record in a new `Many2one` field. In this model the field name quite often results into `False` though, which tells nothing. Example that shows how often it is empty/`False`:

By setting an explicit `_rec_name` the user will get a better description for the record.
@mart-e as we where discussing between chosing for the field `id` or `responsible_id`: I decided to choose for the `responsible_id`. An id doesn't say a lot and the `sign.item` is literally about who signed the document and the details about this person his details on the signing. So that made me choose for `responsible_id`.
