[IMP] appointment: auto adapt invalid slot interval to avoid error popup

PR #25338

EnterprisemasterappointmentMedium

Appointment slot times are now automatically corrected when possible if a saved interval is too short or ends before it starts. This reduces disruptive error popups and helps users save valid appointment availability more smoothly.

Original PR description

Automatically adapt invalid slot interval if possible when saving to avoid in
most cases a popup saying that something is incorrect in the slot list.

The slot interval is invalid when it ends before it starts or its length is
less than the appointment_duration. In that case, we try to change in priority
the bound that was not changed by the user and if both were changed, we adapt
the end bound. Adaptation is either [start, start + appointment_duration] or
[end - appointment_duration, end].

Note that there are example where the interval cannot be adapted.
For example: [22, 8] with an appointment time of 10h
because [22, 22+10] and [8-10, 8] are not valid interval.

Technical note: when an update is performed on multiple records at once, the
auto correction is disabled because there is most of the time not one solution.

- Keep the filters and params in URL when clicking on "All Appointments"
- Add an overlay when in slots-selection mode that encompasses the past
