[MERGE] mail, various: introduce a composer mixin for invite-based wizards

Enterprisemasterhelpdeskhr_appraisalhr_appraisal_surveyhr_contract_salaryhr_payrollindustry_fsm_reportl10n_cl_edi_stockmarketing_automationsale_subscriptionMedium

Several invite-style email wizards now use a shared composer approach, reducing duplicated logic and making future template updates easier. The change also cleans up outdated or incorrect email template fields, helping messages render more reliably across appraisal, payroll, field service, localization, marketing, and subscription flows.

Original PR description

In this merge we use the new mail.composer.mixin added in community to help
designing light invite-like wizards.

Using this mixin allows to hide details about jinja-based computation for
main fields used when posting messages or sending emails. Notably subject
and body computation that was duplicated in several addons are now done
in a mixin. It also eases their maintenance or evolution when qweb rendering
will be available. It also eases support of lang when necessary.

In this merge we also clean some outdated or wrongly-used jinja code bits
or fields definition in some templates. Some reordering in files is also
performed to help future maintenance of templates.

See sub-commits for more details.

[IMP] account_reports: Improve usability of AR and AP reports when Multicurrency is activated

PR #18314

Enterprisemasteraccount_reportsMedium

Aged Receivable and Aged Payable reports now show the original foreign-currency amount and its currency when multi-currency access is enabled. This helps accounting teams review, export, and revalue open balances more easily and accurately.

Original PR description

Aims to assist the user to revalue amounts in the Aged Receivable and Aged Payable Reports when multi currency access is available to the user.

2 columns are added to the AR/AP reports detail - `Amount Currency` and `Currency`
export files contain the raw values to improve usability.

[IMP] account: account.account form view improvements

PR #17943

Enterprisemasteraccount_assetaccount_disallowed_expensesaccount_predictive_billsMedium

The account form has been reorganized to make key information easier to find and manage. Users can now quickly see related taxes through a smart button, and activity tracking has been added so changes are easier to follow over time.

Original PR description

To make the account.account form view usability better, we'll move around the fields,
 add a new smart button to link the account to the taxes using it as well as
 add a chatter to keep track of changes.
