Odoo settings were adjusted so Settings users can open and save configuration screens more reliably without needing broader app administrator rights. Settings pages now load only when relevant, improving performance and reducing unnecessary access issues across several business apps.

- verify settings access for "Settings" user (base.group_system)
- Improve loading performance through the use of conditional groups inheritance
- Do not imply application administration groups for "Settings" users
- Fix wrong view inheritance (views hooked on content defined in siblings, not in parent(s))

The demo spreadsheet in Documents now includes a thumbnail image, making sample content easier to recognize and browse. This is a small usability improvement for users exploring or demonstrating the Documents spreadsheet experience.

Warehouse users can now scan GS1 barcodes from the main barcode screen to open products, packages, or locations directly. They can also scan GS1 codes on the picking list to quickly filter and find the right operation, reducing manual search time.

In this commit, we add support for gs1 in 2 places:
1. on the main page: now you can scan a gs1 barcode to open products,
packages, and locations
2. on the picking kanban page: now you can filter pickings by scanning a
gs1 code.
