[IMP] (website_)appointment: improve calendar front end design

Enterprisemasterappointmentwebsite_appointmentMEDIUM

The appointment booking calendar now guides visitors to available time slots more clearly, including helpful messages when no slots are available and links to the next action. Logged-in users creating appointment types also get better setup support, such as default employee selection and clearer explanations when availability is missing.

Original PR description

In master, the calendar UI to register for an appointment is unclear.

In this commit, we improve the design for visitors in a few ways:

 - When landing on the calendar page of an appointment type, the first
available slot is selected for the visitor, instead of potentially
leaving them on an empty month.
When switching months, the selected slot (if any) is cleared to avoid
confusion.
 - When a month has no available slot, a descriptive message is shown
on the right side, with a relevant icon, and a link to the first
available slot.
 - When an appointment type has no available slot altogether, a message
is also displayed on the right side, with a relevant icon, and a link
to the 'contact us' page.

We also improve the experience of logged-in users:

 - When creating an appointment type from the front end, the employees
can be picked directly, and the current user is added to the list by
default (but can be removed if needed, of course).
 - When an appointment type has no available slot, a relevant message
is shown on top of the calendar, specifying why there aren't any 
(no employee, no availabilities configured,...). A link to the back
end is also added.

[IMP] hr_payroll_holidays: make it possible to cancel in the past

PR #25211

Enterprisemasterhr_payroll_holidaysMEDIUM

Employees can now cancel past time off when payroll is installed, provided no validated payslip covers that period and they had an active contract during the leave. This gives HR and employees more flexibility to correct past absences while preserving payroll validation controls.

Original PR description

Prior to this commit there was no way for the employee to cancel a leave
in the past.
However when payroll is installed, it should be possible as long as no
payslip has been validated for that period.
It will now be possible to do that as long as the employee has a
contract active for the time off's period.
Otherwise the old rules still apply.
