RATIONALE

Simplify field management for mail / phone / sms flows. Make it working out
of the box, easier to use and tweak.

SPECIFICATIONS

Move some helpers used in mail, phone_validation and sms modules directly
at BaseModel level. Those are used to find emails, partners, phone numbers
and countries on records when sending them emails, notifications and sms.

Improve default behavior of those helpers to cover most existing use case.
Remove overrides now covered by standard behavior.

Simplify phone / sms methods implementation. It was a bit messy with methods
of sms overriding methods from phone. All this code can be simplified now
that we have several years of usage in addons to see what people did with
those modules. Globally

  * _sms_get_partner_fields is replaced by _mail_get_partner_fields;
  * _sms_get_number_fields is replaced by _phone_get_number_fields;
  * _sms_get_default_partners is replaced by _mail_get_partners;

Add a generic phone formatting tool on BaseModel allowing to simplify most
calls done to the phone_validation API. Remove custom definitions on some
models as it is now available directly.

This update adapts several Enterprise modules to a revised web framework mechanism used for extending behavior. It should not change day-to-day workflows, but it helps keep accounting, appointment, approvals, and related features compatible and maintainable.

This update removes old QWeb-based code from several Odoo Enterprise apps and moves affected screens and widgets toward newer frontend patterns. Users should see little to no immediate change, but the cleanup helps keep appointment booking, knowledge, helpdesk, payroll, social, VoIP, and website features easier to maintain going forward.
