This update streamlines how several Odoo apps load shared mail model functionality by replacing many separate setup imports with one common import. It is an internal cleanup that should make the code easier to maintain without changing day-to-day user workflows.

Replaces the numerous imports related to the definition of models by a single import of the '@mail/model' module.

This commit introduces component hook useMessagingContainer,
which allow to lazily use messaging component in template.

This allow simplifing some code in container, and more notably
in child messaging components, as they can now define their
template in models.
