[REF] mail_enterprise, *: refactor messaging with OWL

This refactor rewrites key messaging areas such as Discuss, chatter, chat windows, and the messaging menu while aiming to keep day-to-day behavior mostly unchanged. It modernizes the underlying interface code to make future improvements easier and more consistent across Odoo apps.

Original PR description

This commit is a significant rewriting of client-side discuss, chatter,
chat window, and messaging menu using OWL. The behavior should be broadly
the same, with some slight functional changes here and there.

From a technical standpoint, the code of messaging is mainly organized in 2
main groups of modules:

- models, which are logical entities that depict the client-side state of
  messaging as a whole.
- components, which are in charge of displaying information from models.

This refactoring also introduces new JS guidelines regarding folder structure
(/static) and naming rules for JS modules.
