Odoo removes the old customer and supplier labels from contacts so users can find the right partner when creating documents. This reduces confusion and duplicate contacts while updating related business apps to keep partner choices relevant.

Original PR description

Purpose
=======
Fields `customer` and `supplier` on `res.partner`
are mostly used in domains of many2x fields.
Those domains can confuse end users because they don't
see the partner they are looking for; and it's not obvious why.
This can lead to duplicated partners: the user does not find
one, so he creates a new one.

Specification
=============
Adapt Enterprise modules for removal of the mentioned
fields.
